adding onto what Mirco stated, I don't think this is a good road to go down.
I'm afraid we're gonna paint with too big a brush and the user will indavertently turn off notifications/alerts that they didn't realize.

The right thing to do is to properly support this via application & user settings right?
e.g. the sms app should have its own "show notifications on the lock screen" or "allow showing message content in alert on lock screen"
like wise with email client app
i suppose you could argue, i don't want my phone showing the contact info of the people calling me....what if some guy is with girlfriend#1...away from his phone, and girlfriend#2 calls....so even phone app might have settings

besides, it the content of the alert...not the alert itself....maybe a compromise is to show the alert skeleton when device is locked? and just don't show content/contact/specific info....
