What details are you missing from notifications? From what I've seen Android 4's rich notifications show far more detail than iOS ones. What sort of rolling notification queue are you after, something different than the notification shade's rolling notification queue?

As Android Enthusiasts, many of us don't have enough experience with iOS to know what this means. Thanks for the comment GATrawn. Are you referring to the built in notification that are displayed for phone, email, sms, calendar? The trouble is that if you more than one it just groups them and displays a count.
I just glance at the iPhone screen and see if the message content is relevent. On the Android, I have to open it to see. That is the key difference for me. So does anyone have any input or is something like this just not possible on the Android platform? Given all of the superior Android features, I think it is minor shortcoming Add a comment.

One app can have multiple notification channels—a separate channel for each type of notification the app issues.
