Widgets and Notifications on Android 5 (w/ HTC Sense and Nova Launcher) On my HTC One (M8) I used HTC Sense UI and Nova Launcher. Until recently I was able to customize my lock screen, like adding widgets, and I could see all notification icons.

Now Android has been updated to Lollipop on the HTC One. Unfortunately I cannot add widgets to the lock screen any more, nor are there any icons shown in the notification bar (i.e. there is no notification bar at all on the lock screen).

Is this a Lollipop "feature", or is there any way for me to get back to the old Android 4 lock screen behaviour?
I think it shoud be in your lockscreen settings and there should be an option to disable or enable status bar on lockscreen.
My phone has it I think yours should have too.
Its a privacy keeping feature.
