Pretty sure I have all the settings correct. have it turned on for all apps. I know it works for at least 1 as when my door locks or unlocks with the schlage it the edge lighting works on the notification.

It worked fine on everything on the s20 ultra.

I've noticed the same. My edge lighting settings are similar to yours. But the MLB app is one app that doesn't use edge lighting. It does work on others though.

Yeah mine doesn't work for either gmail or bluemail, doesn't work for messages.. i don't know what the hell
 
You have to have the app that you want to show edge lighting set to show as a pop-up in order for edge lighting to work.

I have notifications set to all apps. I get actual notifications from gmail, bluemail, messages etc.... just no edge lighting for them

Make sure that the app you want to show edge lighting is set to "show as pop up"...that's found in the notification settings for the individual app, not the system notifications setting.
 
That definitely made a difference for a few of mine that didn't alert with edge lighting. Thank You!

Now if I could only get Gmail to notify in any form. No sound, vibration or badges. Maneuvering through the Gmail settings is like negotiating a maze. One wrong click & your are back to where you started.
