Why can't my Nexus be more like my iPhone?

Whoa, before you start throwing things at me, I do love the Galaxy Nexus, but there's one deal breaker that might make me trade it in.

I receive numerous text messages and missed call alerts while the phone is in sleep mode (blank screen). With IOS the information (partial text message, missed phone number) appears right on the sleep screen and nine out of ten times it can wait. I can glance at the screen without having to push a button.

With Android, I need to push the power button and slide down the alert list. Doesn't sound like much but it's the difference between "instant" and interrupt - the difference between glancing at a postcard and having to open an envelope.

I've tried several apps that ALMOST do what I want (e.g. "iPhone Notifications"). Has anyone found the perfect app?
