do either of android, IOS or windows phone use the proximity sensor to
check if they are in a pocket to not trigger any button presses on the
notifications ? that is IMHO the only sane solution to this problem,
your pocket should not be able to generate any input, only turning on
the screen if the proximity sensor is not covered will help with that
(yes, i know it wouldn't turn on then if you have a sheet of paper on
top of it on your desk or some such, but isn't that a corner case
(beyond the fact that you still get acoustic (and perhaps haptic)
signals anyway ?)

Title:
  [Notifications] turn the screen on

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Triaged
Status in indicator-messages package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Built: r20

  When getting a notification, such as a text message, the screen will turn on.
  This becomes a problem when the device is kept in a pocket,
  where it may falsely register screen activity and thus stay on for hours.
