Edge notifications when screen off topic

Am I missing something or is Samsung missing something? It would seem to me ONE of the big advantage of the "edge" is to see your notifications when the phone is laying on the table or a flip case is closed. So is there a setting to have the actual edge light up with notifications when the screen is off? I can rub the edge of course and swipe the panels to get to the notification panel but I want it to actually scroll like the news feed panels do. But when the screen is off and me not touching it.
