Learn how to use Notifications on your Sony Xperia Tablet Z. The status bar in the lower right corner of your screen shows what’s going on in your device. To the left, you get notifications when there is something new or ongoing. For example, calendar notifications appear here. The right side shows the signal strength, battery status, and other information. The status bar allows you to adjust basic settings on your device, for example, Wi-Fi.
