http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/05/09/rumor-google-exploring-home-screen-overhaul-with-revamped-notification-shade-recents-menu-and-more/
In our recent post about Google's plans to break its Search sauce out of
the dedicated app and bring it to the rest of
Androidhttp://www.androidpolice.com/2014/04/25/rumor-ok-google-everywhere-modular-actions-new-navigation-buttons-coming-to-android/,
I alluded to the fact that we'd have more to talk about later. Specifically
left un-discussed were the implications of new navigation buttons for the
Android home screen. As readers will remember, our information leads us to
believe that the navigation bar will be getting a shakeup, with the new
layout including the typical back and multitask buttons, plus a Google
button, which appears - for now - to be an actual Google logo.

Pressing the Google button appears to trigger Search, which would help
users perform general searches or app-specific actions. The back button
seems to work as you'd expect, and the multitask button appears to bring up
the multitasking view we saw a glimpse of when looking at Google's
potential plan to unify Chrome and Search on
Androidhttp://www.androidpolice.com/2014/04/06/rumor-googles-plan-to-bridge-chrome-android-and-search-to-do-everything-on-your-device/.
So where's the home screen? Today's post will take a look at what Google
seems to be experimenting with - a new launcher system, a new look for
notifications, and a new quick settings shade. Let's dig in.
 *Disclaimer*: No matter the confidence level, there's always a chance
product updates, features, and some or all details will be changed or
cancelled altogether. As with all rumors, nothing is 100% until it's
officially announced.

We do not have possession of any APKs or unreleased devices, so please
don't ask for them.
Confidence Level

This rumor gets a confidence rating of 7 out of 10. We are confident that a
change *like* this is probably coming, but the changes seen in the
information available to us are so far-reaching that it's hard to be sure
to what extent those changes will be implemented. It is clear Google is
experimenting with the home screen and notification system, and in fact
things like Android Wear give good hints that some of these changes
actually may survive into a public Android release, but it's best to
approach things like this with caution. The launcher we now know as the
Google Now Launcher went through several revisions before reaching release
with the Nexus 5, but the core principles of the launcher remained the
same. It is probably safe to say the same pattern will hold true with these
changes.
The Rumor

I'll try to get through the actual rumor in as concise a manner as
possible, since the Evidence section is what will really tell the story
here. Basically, it appears that Google is experimenting with drastically
altering the launcher experience. To do this, it will require users to rely
more heavily on the multitasking screen, accessed from its usual right-most
navigation button. From here, users can launch an app from their hot seat
or swipe to the right to see more apps.

Notifications will apparently be split into two parts - the shade will
still pull down from the top, but high priority notifications will appear
first, and a swipe up will reveal low priority or ongoing notifications.
Quick settings will also be present in a secondary shade (as it is now),
though we do not have firm information indicating what exactly that
interface will look like.

Before we continue, it should be noted that - should they come to fruition
in some form - these changes could be limited to Google's eponymous Now
Launcher as part of the overall Google experience, though changes to
multitasking and the navigation buttons could point to a wider sweep. It's
always worth stressing that with unreleased software features, our
information is rarely 100% complete, and anything can change.
The Evidence

For this rumor, it may be helpful to take a broad view and then discuss the
elements individually. As usual, we won't post source images of unreleased
software, opting instead to recreate the

 more heavily on the multitasking screen, accessed from its usual right-most
 navigation button. From here, users can launch an app from their hot seat
 or swipe to the right to see more apps.

 Notifications will apparently be split into two parts - the shade will
 still pull down from the top, but high priority notifications will appear
 first, and a swipe up will reveal low priority or ongoing notifications.
 Quick settings will also be present in a secondary shade (as it is now),
 though we do not have firm information indicating what exactly that
 interface will look like.

 Before we continue, it should be noted that - should they come to fruition
 in some form - these changes could be limited to Google's eponymous Now
 Launcher as part of the overall Google experience, though changes to
 multitasking and the navigation buttons could point to a wider sweep.
