no.

if you are wondering why, the reason is simple: consistency and API 
simplicity. 

every time we give developers the ability to choose such behaviour, the 
decison made will be a poor decision for a significant % of the cases and the 
user suffers with a less consistent experience. which usually results in us 
getting bug reports ;)

may i ask why the screen-edge hugging is a bad thing for your use case? or, 
one step back from that, what is your exact use case?
