Simplify the access to apps with notifications when device is locked

As described in this related question there is currently no way to access the notifications screen once the device lock is active. All you can do is peeking.

Current Implementation: (without device lock enabled) If I want to call someone back because I missed the call and see the notification in the lock screen I need to do the following:

  1. Open events screen by swiping in from the bottom of the screen.
  2. Tap on the missed call icon -> The call app will be opened
  3. Do the call

Current Implementation: (device lock active) If I want to call someone back because I missed the call and see the notification in the lock screen I need to do the following:

  1. Try to open events screen by swiping in from the bottom of the screen. -> It is not possible as only peeking is possible while device look is active
  2. Try to swipe to the home screen -> The enter code screen to unlook device is shown
  3. Enter the correct code -> The home screen is shown
  4. Open events screen by swiping in from the bottom of the screen.
  5. Tap on the missed call icon -> The call app will be opened
  6. Do the call

As you can see both interaction flows are quite different.

  1. Try to open events screen by swiping in from the bottom of the screen. -> It is disappears as soon as you release the finger. So it's not possible as only peeking is possible while device look is activeto show the events permanently.
  2. Try to swipe to the home screen -> The enter code screen to unlook device is shown
  3. Enter the correct code -> The home screen is shown
  4. Open events screen by swiping in from the bottom of the screen.
