Apple designed the way notifications work to either come to your Apple Watch or your iPhone, but not both. If you are using your iPhone and the screen is active, notifications will be delivered to your iPhone. If your iPhone screen is locked and not in use, notifications are delivered to your Apple Watch. This is by design.
