Help when locked,how do I stop notification sounds

[bluepaintred]

New to Android. I had an iphone until last Thursday. With my iPhone, when I had it locked,a text would come in, and I would get my sound,I could stop the sound by hitting the volume button once, while the phone stayed locked.

With my new phone, galaxy s5, to stop a notification sound,I Need to get my phone, enter the passcode, then hit the notification bar.

Is there no way to stop the sound without first unlocking the phone?

I am with Verizon and so far, just hitting the volume or the power button stops the sound.
