Before Android 5.0, notifications would display the first few lines of text in the status bar (the ticker), assuming you didn't already have the notification shade open. Lollipop introduces the idea of heads-up notifications, and Google is so smitten with it that you can't even get the ticker anymore. It's heads up, or just the icon in the status bar.
This change is confirmed by the API documentation for Android 5.0, which explains the text that used to scroll through the status bar still exists, but it's not displayed on the screen.
