Yes, similar. You get a thin notification at the top for a couple of seconds, then you either click it or find it later on the notifications homescreen.

A little green flag appears in the statusbar when you have notifications. When the devive is on standby, little icons appear on the screen (like the clock, they never turn off unless the device is in your pocket).

Notifications also appear on the lock screen, and you can swipe them off the screen to directly unlock and view them.
