Today on my way to work faced issue that no washer fluid was sprayed on the windshield. In the same time I was able to get some washer fluid on the headlights.

On my '13 Greenline low level sensor is present , but it was not on.

Later today I added some washer fluid and I was able to get fluid on window.

 

I wanted to check experienced users. If this is normal that  level sensor is not on but the fluid level is sufficient only for headlight washing?

I tried to google, how the washer-fluid tank is designed and it seems that it have only one connection to the tank, meaning that the fluid level would affect all systems.

 

Any suggestion that I should check further sensor and/or motor?

No - that is not normal. Mine definitely comes on before either the front or rear windscreen or headlight washers stop spraying.

 

I've never had a problem so I haven't checked sensors etc. Hopefully someone else can give you an answer on doing that.

My 2011 Superb SE doesn't have a low-level warning for the windscreen washer fluid - not quite sure what Skoda UK were doing on the day they decided on what to include and what to leave off the SE but they screwed up!

First world problems 

Taking a punt I am guessing that cars with xenon lights have the warning level indicator on the windscreen washer bottle.

After the low washer fluid level warning light has come on, I've had enough fluid for hours and hours of bad weather driving (infact I've never run out). Both the lights and windscreen were washed as usually.

Maybe all of the cars with xenon lights tend to have it but my SE Business has a level indicator and I only have the standard lights

I think that is probably the case.  I first noticed this a few years ago when I had a MkII Octavia.  It had factory xenons fitted and the dash warning light was present on that model.  The same model at that time without xenons didn't have the dash light.
