[ARCHIVED] Can I read the message in a notification?

I get notified if a student sent me a message but in order to read it I have to log in to Canvas. This is strange. Imagine if I got a text message from my operator every time I received a telephone call or SMS and had to log in somewhere to read it. The message should be visible in the notification. I don't need to be able to answer but this way I can choose if it is urgent or if I can wait with the log in process and answering. Does anyone know if this is possible?

 @ulf_hejman ,

The way that the Notifications are designed in Canvas is just that, a notification.  It is not designed to give you the entire message.  It is simply designed to let you know that you have activity in Canvas.

There was a request from similar functionality in Canvas a few years ago https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/2045 but it did not get the community support needed to move forward.
