If you don’t leave your phone on silent it keeps vibrating again and again which can bother coworkers and even irritate you when you have to go through the hackneyed task of unlocking the screen only to find that it’s an SMS from your cellular service provider or a useless SMS from a salesman. If you put your device on silent mode, it is likely that you might miss few notifications.

Your Android phone offers you the advantage to view popup notifications for all apps even on your lock screen. You can use a simple App which you can download for free and can switch your phone to silent mode at work without having to worry about missing any important notification.
