A lot of people here are arguing about whether Apple copied a particular implementation of a given feature. That is beside the point. It goes more like this: Apple sees that Android has vastly superior notifications. Apple concludes, "We need better notifications". Apple implement a better notification system that shares certain features with Android's system, but in other ways is unique. Yes, they respond to market pressure. Yes, they borrow ideas. They also innovate. I do not see any difference between Apple and Google in this regard.
