I've noticed that when I get an alert (an incoming email, or a notification from an app (cough Words with Friends cough) and the screen is locked, I'll hear the alert sound but, when I wake up the tablet, I won't see the alert.
Is there any way of having the tablet leave those alerts on the screen until I wake it up?
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 wifi-only, running Honeycomb 3.2.
