There is an app called aodnotify that can do that using the always on display option, but only displaying the notification light.
Comment on Are phone notification LEDs still a thing?

First thing I do when I get my phone is turn off the ‘always on’ display. I don’t care how efficient a dim screen can be, I hate having a screen on all the time. It’s so wasteful. The notification LED is sorely missed.
