Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge: How to Change the Edge Screen Notifications in Android 5.1.1 Lollipop

By default, if edge lighting or people edge is enabled, when you receive calls, text messages or email messages while the main screen is off and your phone is turned over, the edge screen in your Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge will light up and those notifications will be displayed on the edge screen. However, when needed, you can select which kinds of notifications will light up the edge screen and appear on it. But you have to remember that the edge notifications only work if you use Samsung default apps.
