Notifications shouldn't unlock media controls

Currently, when one receives a notification while the screen is off, the display turns on briefly and the notification is displayed on the "lock screen" (I think that's how it's called). At its bottom there are the media control keys, if a compatible media player is open. These buttons are fully functional also from the lock screen, and it is easy to press them by mistake, for instance if I receive a notification while the phone is in my pocket (a variant of pocket dialing / butt dialing).
Feature request: these buttons should be locked or made invisible when the display turns on for a notification.
It's already happened to me twice that my death metal playlist suddenly started playing at full volume while I was in a quiet room. :(
(Xperia X, no lock code set.)
When your phone is in your pocket screen should be off all the time because of proximity sensor. Screen turns on only when proximity sensor is not covered.
