If you have your most important widget(s) on your homescreen along with your most useful apps, you're probably doing 1-3 anyway most times you use your phone. For me, it's very similar to the badges on iOS (which is something I miss when I use my Android work phone). I'm often not actively looking for the info, but it's a nice little prompt about it being there. As for your alternatives - Google Now is (at least for me) only useful when it's displayed as a widget - the lock screen is fine for some things but less good for sensitive stuff - and with the fingerprint scanner on the 5S I rarely see my iPhone's lock screen these days -persistent notifications on the notification bar quickly get cluttered and tell you nothing more than there is a notification of some description for that app - the recent app menu still involves you going to a separate screen Clearly they work for you, but also clearly they don't work as well for many others. |
