We study the restriction of an irreducible unitary representation $\pi$ of the universal covering $\widetilde{Sp}_{2n}(\R)$ to a Heisenberg maximal parabolic subgroup $\tilde P$. We prove that if $\pi|_{\tilde P}$ is irreducible, then $\pi$ must be a highest weight module or a lowest weight module. This is in sharp contrast with the GL$_n(\R)$ case. In addition, we show that for a unitary highest or lowest weight module, $\pi|_{\tilde P}$ decomposes discretely. We also treat the groups $U(p,q)$ and $O^*(2n)$.
