  • Both are granmatical but they mean different things. What is the intended message? What have found so far in dictionaries etc, and what still confuses you about this?

  • I wanted the recipient of my letter to inform me if there are changes in his/her address. I initially wrote "Please notify me FOR any changes in your address." Following these: 1. Give me a ring FOR a talk. 2. Watch out FOR any changes in the schedule. but then a friend said that it should be "Please notify me OF any changes in your address."

notify somebody of something

The police must be notified of the date of the demonstration.

The more common usage of the preposition of after the verb notify is evident also from Google Books
