Default Alternator/Battery Light

Hi guys can anyone confirm that the battery light should light up when ignition is turned on and then go out when engine starts? Mines does this.
Shouĺd the battery light then come on(with engine running)when alternator isn't charging? My car doesnt have the light on when engine on.
Reason i ask is that the alternator is not charging the cars battery as im getting 12.5v on battery then around 11.9v with car running,im guessing the alternator has gone but i thought the light on dash would be constantly on.
Just to add the batteryis brand new.
