Lollipop not showing notifications on lock screen

[Gunslinger1]

After upgrading to Lollipop, notifications does not show on the lock screen at all. I use pin-code as security, notifications is set to "Show all notification content". Something I'm missing here?

I also have this problem that I don't get any lock screen notifications when using active sync. This needs to be fixed. In the meantime, how do I get KitKat back?

I don't need e-mail notifications if that's the problem but the other ones I really need.

Also I can't see what song is playing (google play music) or skip tracks, Is this also related to active sync?

This must surely be a bug. If activesync settings does not want sensitive data to show, then the "Show all notification content" shall be disabled as in the screen unlock methods settings.
It shall still be possible to choose "Hide sensitive notification content" an the result should look something like this:

The keyword here being notification CONTENT, not the notifications themselves.

Same her (Z3 compact). I will not throw away the phone but it's really annoying. Hope for a fix very soon.

Rickard do you know if a bugfix with a correction for the notifications is being worked on? If so when could it be available? If not how do I roll back to KitKat?

Same problem here. Sony xperia z3 compact with exchange activesync / security restrictions. No notifications pops up when screen is locked. This makes the phone not very practible for work. Sony - any comments?

Hi all, I have also got this problem, and I have been searching all over for a solution.

And Rickard, I also thought this might be a "feature" (albeit a horrible one) rather than a bug. However, my colleagues have shown me that notifications work perfectly fine on other cell phone brands with android lollipop and the same exchange security policies. So this appears to be a Sony specific bug.

This cannot be intended behaviour. At our company we have dozens of users with various lollipop phones: LG Nexus, Samsung, Z3 and Z3 compacts. Only phones having this issue are Z3 and Z3 Compact.

Is it possible that Z3s are incorrectly intepreting some policy restriction (for example the old "no widgets on lock screen", which no longer should matter because notifications != widgets)?...

This is true for my company as well. We only experience this on Sony mobile phones with lollipop.

finnuser, there is actually no such security policy as "no widgets on lock screen" in exchange activesync, although I see that this is one of the things that the email application can control. It seems the phone assumes that when there is a PIN-lock requirement, that also means no widgets on lock screen.
