Notice can be a noun or a verb.
A notice is a sign in a public place which gives information or instructions.
You do not use notice to refer to a short, informal letter. The word you use is note.
If you take notice of someone or something, you pay attention to them.
When someone does not pay any attention to someone or something, you can say that they take no notice of them or do not take any notice of them.
If someone becomes aware of something, you do not say that they 'take notice of' it. You say that they notice it.
