You will not receive a notification. However, if someone connects to your AirPods, they won’t have full control over them because they are still linked to your Apple ID. You will still be able to find them via Find My, and they will not. Also, when connecting to them, instead of seeing: “Connect” they will see: “Not your AirPods”. And whatever they decide to name the AirPods will have a: - Find My at the end of the name, to show them and others that they are not theirs.
