Android: Overlay TextView on LockScreen

Question

Im trying to overlay a TextView on top of the LockScreen (Similar to how Android Overlays the time).

Note: I dont want to by-pass the lockscreen, but just draw

Answer 1

Starting with Android Lollipop (5.0), support for lockscreen widgets has been removed (see the very bottom). Instead, you should be using Notifications, which can now appear on the lockscreen.
