I have a simple windows phone 8 project that consists in receiving notifications from a server, and displays its content on a MainPage.xaml.
The notification has a title, a subject and a content. I have faced a strange issue on Nokia devices that have a notification center, where you can see all the received notifications which are not opened yet. I have noticed that those notification are separated in 2 clickable lines:
The first line (icon and application name) opens the
application.
The second line (notification title and subject) opens the
application with the notification content.
During my tests, I sometimes missclicked on the first line, which opens my application without the notification's content (and so did not understood what the hell was happening). As I am not a Windows Phone user, can you confirm this is a common behavior on Nokia devices ? Or is there a way to always open the application with the notification content, even if you clicked on the first line ?

I'm a newbie about windows phone, this is my first project, a app calculate calories when running in wp8.1 RT, but I have a problem, basically I have 3 pages, mainpage is page 1, how must I do whenever I click a button in page 1 (start running), a stopwatch in page 3 starts counting and start receiving data gps of Map in page 2 (distance,speed) automatically, ie I'm still in page 1, the other pages run in background if i don't navigate to them ? ( I implemented stopwatch and map in project), forgive me because I'm not good at English.
In a Windows Phone App (does not matter if is silverlight or RT) you just can run a page at time.
Instead use several pages, you can use Background task or Geofencing.
I hope it helps you.
What are some ways to show either notificationn count or the existence of new unread messages in Windows Phone.
Like in iOS we use the badge icon.
In Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 you can add Badges to your live tiles:
A notification badge conveys summary or status information specific to your app. They can be numeric (1-99) or one of a set of system-provided glyphs. Examples of information best conveyed through a badge include network connection status in an online game, user status in a messaging app, number of unread mails in a mail app, and number of new posts in a social media app. Badges can be displayed on all tile sizes. On Windows, they appear in the lower-right corner of the tile (lower-left corner on a computer set to a right-to-left (RTL) language). On Windows Phone 8.1, they appear in the upper-right corner of the tile (upper-left corner on a computer set to a right-to-left (RTL) language).

Are there any ways to style the Windows Phone 8 Toast messages at all?
I have an application that I am receiving and displaying messages fine after registering the Toast template (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/hh202967(v=vs.105).aspx), however if the pushed message is too long it seems to just get cut off on the edge of the screen. I can't seem to find a mechanism where I can manage this (like make the text wrap, for instance).
No, you cannot style the toast messages.
I would like to use same design in my app as has default rating/review page in Windows Phone 8 - (Page which appears when user wants to review an app). Where can I get the screen shot of this page? Or is there aviable original template for this page?
You can take the screenshot on your phone and copy it to your computer. There is no template for that page that is publicly available, why would you need it?
If you want to enable rating your app from the phone itself, use MarketplaceReviewTask.
If you want to reuse the star rating control, you can get it from the Windows Phone Toolkit: see RatingControl.
I have created a little app using html5 notifications but it appears those notifications don't work in some cases :
Case 1 : I stay on the page. Notifications work.
Case 2 : I switch to another app (alt+tab). Lst active page in Chrome is my app. Notifications work.
Case 3 : I switch to another tab inside Chrome without closing my app. No notifications are shown until I switch back to app.
Is this a normal behaviour or am I running in some kind of bug? I could not found much documentation about it.
PS : Running Chrome on Centos 6 FYI
The Chromium API Specification reads that
If the page which generates a notification was generated is closed, the notification itself will not be closed, but events will not be delivered, as the script execution context is no longer present.
If that doesn't cover it, this page has more technical detail about how it is implemented in Chromium
