notification with screen locked shows undesireable results on tablet

[Bill Filler]

running rc-proposed on m10 tablet, have security setup for passcode. The problem is whenever my screen is locked and I get a notification (i.e. new gmail message), the screen turns on and I see the OSK taking up half of the screen and the password field focus. This is really distracting and looks bad, as I'm not trying to login.

Would be better to just show the notification with no osk. Seems an easy fix would be to make sure the passcode field is not focused when the screen is locked (or turned on) which would make the osk not appear.

We explicitly did this to not have to tap on the password field when you want to log in. Also when you have a keyboard connected, we need the field to be focused so that you can type and input goes to the password field without having to use your mouse to focus it.

Maybe we can differentiate between power button presses and notification-triggered wakes and only focus if the screen was turned on by the user.

Alternatively we could focus the field and forward to the password entry on first input, so hardware keyboard would work still, but you'd need to tap to get OSK up.
