Android L’s ‘Heads up’ notifications now available for any Android 4.3+ device [DOWNLOAD]

Hey, all you non-Nexus elite. If the Android L Developer Preview (which arrived exclusively for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7) got you feeling down in the dumps with all its glitz and glamor, don't worry. It appears that many Android devs are working 'round the clock to bring some of those flashy features introduced in Android L — like the all new Heads Up notifications — to our "filthy casual" Android devices.

Fresh out the Google Play Store is "Heads Up! notifications" by Woodblock Without Co.. The developer announced the availability of the app over on XDA (where it can be previewed/downloaded for free) and as the name suggests, Heads Up! brings Android L type Heads Up notifications to any device running Android 4.3+ — Android L not required. This app is not only great for themers who like to hide the notification/status bar using 3rd party launchers, but also for times when your phone goes into full screen media mode (like watching a movie or playing a game).

In fact, the best part about the app is all the many filtering options it provides. You can whitelist only specific apps, or filter out "silent" heads-up notifications and/or ongoing ones. There's even an option to only display heads-up notifications while in fullscreen mode.

Heads Up! is only a buck on Google Play, but if you'd like to try before you buy, you can always download straight from the developer via XDA here .
