Lollipop not showing notifications on lock screen

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?

Guys,

I realise some of you have mentioned that you're not allowed to use 3rd Party Apps, so this may not be applicable for everyone. 

Although using the gmail app and adding an exchange account fixes this! Slightly_smiling_Face

Hope this helps someone...

No new update for my phone - living in Norway. Guess they don't roll it out to all countries at the same time.

That's a poor response, can't imagine a programmer went out of his way to disable business user notifications. Happy to hear why it was done if it is intentional.

I see Sony Support has mentioned that if the activesync is active, notifications will not be shown on the locked screen as its supposed to work this way on Lollipop.

I disagree with this statement as it used to work on Kitkat. I've had activesync ever since I got this device, when it had Jellybean and it worked like a charm. Why the notifications are not being shown now?

This needs te be fixed ASAP. I understand that using a thrid party app will solve this problem, but then whats the use of the stock app then?

Please let me know an anticiapted time on the resolution.

I can confirm that it works now with the stock app after installing the apk.

What I did:

1. delete ALL outlook echange accounts in the mail app

2. reboot device

3. setup outlook exchange accounts again

Works fine now.

Actually, after the notifications work now, I must say I find the new Lollipop functionality fantastic.

You see the email, SMS etc. on the lock-screen, double tap on it, enter the pin code and voila. And you can decide how much info the apps shall show.

It's really great.
