Displaying Notifications for Lockdown Menu Items (dynamic templates?)

When using an older, static html lockdown template it is possible to display notifications as one of the menu items.

Are there any plans to bring this capability to the newer, dynamic templates?

It seems that the approach found in your mentioned documentation URL does results in showing a notification page, but fail to display any meaningful notifications in many of my test devices.   My devices show the following

 when there are actually the following notifications in the notification bar

However, if that approach works on your devices previously, you probably can still continue to get  similar display with the new dynamic template simply by defining your kiosk item as either

  launch://net.soti.mobicontrol.androidwork/net.soti.mobicontrol.lockdown.notification.NotificationActivity

or

  action://net.soti.mobicontrol.VIEW_NOTIFICATIONS 

Please let us know if this works on your devices. If so, maybe you can share some device screenshots on any notifications shown.
