Heads-up Notifications
Get the new heads-up notifications from Android Lollipop on any device!
With Heads-up, any device can get the heads-up notifications introduced in the Android 5.0 “Lollipop”, no root required. But according to Addictivetips, this app is much more than just a backport. And according to the users, this app is way better than the original!HIGHLIGHTS:Heads-up displays the latest notification as a floating popup, complete with full text and quick actions (4.1+).Works on everything running Android 3.1 and newer.Youre in control: Heads-up has five pages of customization, so youll get notified your way.Pocket detection – when you get a message, Heads-up turns the screen on if you take your phone out of the pocket!Privacy on the lock screen (and in general - Heads-up doesnt even have internet permission, so it cant send your private data anywhere)Heads-up is not a lockscreen app, so dont expect it behave like the Lollipop lockscreen.LANGUAGES:Heads-up notifications is available in over 20 languages, thanks to an awesome team of translators. As this app isnt supported anymore, new translations will not make it into Heads-up.COMMON ISSUES:If no popups appear, please make sure that Heads-up shows up in the list of running services. If it doesnt, make sure you have enabled the service, and then reboot the phone.Huawei, XIAOMI and MIUI users: please allow Heads-up to display popups under Settings > Apps > Downloaded > Heads-up. It might also be necessary to reset the app data/settings.This app uses the Device Administrator permission. It is used to work around a bug where the screen doesnt turn off on certain devices, and you should not grant the device admin permission unless you are affected by this bug. If you find that the uninstall button is disabled, this is because you have granted this permission. To revoke this permission so you can uninstall the app, go to System Settings > Security > Device administrators > Heads-up, and tap Disable.On very old devices (running Android 4.2 and older), this app uses Accessibility services in order to read your notifications. If you have other accessibility services running, they might block Heads-up from receiving your notifications. Please try to disable them if Heads-up doesnt work.OPEN-SOURCE:Heads-up is open-source, licensed under GPL!That means you can make your own version of Heads-up, as long as the resulting app also is open-source.I dont have time to work on this app anymore, and dont expect answers to questions about the app. Sorry :(Remove "screen stays on" workaround, see issue #135 on GitHub.Also, thanks for sticking around for so long, Heads-up is over 5 years old now!

This is what all i needed, no notifications previews or pop ups in my new device and no option to change, i had to open apps to read notifications.. like open message to read message and open WhatsApp to read WhatsApp message..now i can read without opening apps.
Thanks a lot for this wonderful app, was looking for this kinda app for all day long and finally the real one I found it here very simple to use excellent job mate appreciate you from the bottom of my heart
💯 this thing only works if I have my screen open. Garbage trash go get another job. Who's ever made this go get another job because you don't know how to do this job.. and it's important when you design and make something.. and you want people to use it it's important that it works And this does not work 💯
I cant find the notification access of heads up on my phone and the app seems not to be working
Works great! Have used it for years!
Working smoothly without any problem.
Does exactly what it should, very simple to use, easy to understand and test too.
