More notifications are here!
You can now receive notifications from email and other apps on your Blaze! Common emojis are also supported. Please keep in mind that you will need to have the latest Fitbit app version as well as the latest Blaze firmware update (17.8.301.7).
Using Notifications:
When you receive a notification, your Fitbit Blaze vibrates. Depending on the type of notification and your mobile device's operating system, the following information may appear on your screen:
Keep in mind your tracker can only display notifications from third-party apps if you already receive notifications from these apps on your paired iOS or Android mobile device. Make sure notifications are turned on for these apps in your mobile device's settings, and in your Blaze's device settings.
You can see all your notifications by swiping up from the home screen. You'll see previous calls, texts, calendar, email, and app notifications as well. You may delete these notifications either individually by swiping right, or all at once by scrolling down and tapping "Clear All" on the display.
For detailed information and setup instructions, check out our help page about notifications.

@joerojas - I got my FitBit Blaze delivered yesterday. I opened it and it updated, I was so excited until I found out it updated to 17.8.200.3, not the latest. So to answer your question there is high probability that if you were to purchase a new Blaze you would not get the new update right away. Using me as an example.
Waiting..... tick, tock, tick, tock.....

Thanks @kenlpeters
This is good to know but it's a bummer. I was so close to running out to by a FitBit Blaze but I guess I'll just stick with my Charge HR until this update is rolled out for all.

@Stu_B, on my iPhone, it looks like the map app notifications are more items like how many minutes to home etc, not the directions themselves. Not sure if that would be the same on Android apps
@mcrmama I would think a mobile app developer working on turn-by-turn directions would assume the phone's display is on, or if display is off, then the user is listening to the directions. Its hard to imagine a developer thinking of creating notifications for wearables like Fitbit/Pebble/Garmin, instead the most natural integration would be an Apple Watch (e.g. Apple Maps does this when paired with AW, as does a few other apps), or Android Wear device, or Apple CarPlay / Android Auto.
Its possible some independent app developer will add, or has added, lock-screen notifications of turn-by-turn directions. The only use case for that is a 3rd party wareable (and not Apple Watch or Android Wear), so I would think you will need to search as its not an obvious opportunity for app developers (unlike Apple/Google wareables/automotive).

I have a funny notification on my list pass.com.starbucks.card, is there a way to remove that from the list completely as opposed to just turning it off?

When you wrote, "...updated trhough Fitbit connect" did you mean via your computer and using the Windows 10 Fitbit app? @SunsetRunner

@herget I'm not sure who "you" is referring to, but the Fitbit Connect us the program that runs in all windows and can be downloaded by choosing other OS. It is not the win 10 app.
