[Star Wars] Are Jedi constantly sensing people dying?

**[SPOILERS] Spoilers ahead for Episode VII: The Force Awakens**

There have been several examples of Jedi being aware of people dying (specifically, people being murdered) throughout the movies:

Obi-Wan knew when the Death Star was first fired, because he sensed all of the inhabitants of Alderaan dying. 

Qui Gon and Obi-Wan both sensed their transport ship being blown up when they were on the Trade Federation's space station. 

Leia even sensed when Han died on the Starkiller base. 

My question is, when do Jedi sense someone's death?

Leia would probably be "tuned in" to Han's wellbeing, and would probably be more likely to sense his death quicker than other Jedi.

And Alderaan was a whole planet of people all dying at once. 

But what if a Jedi is just minding their own business on Coruscant? Given the size of the city (a whole planet) the crime rate (and by extension, the murder rate) has to be off the charts. 

Is the Jedi just constantly being bombarded by "notifications" that people around them are being murdered?

Sort of. Unless it's a huge, impossible-to-ignore level of destruction, an incredibly painful death, or someone the Jedi have a reason to be paying attention to, the signal is often not strong enough to really register on a conscious level unless they're trying to be mindful of it.

Don't think of it like "ping! someone just died!" Think of it like "oh, look, one of the lightbulbs on the World's Largest Christmas Tree has burnt out." You probably won't notice if it didn't do so by bursting into flame or unless the whole string of them went out with it.
