Auto notifications are more hindrance than help. I'm sure there have been plenty of people who have missed a flight because the autonotification sent a message saying the flight was going to be late. Sometimes airlines swap aircraft so the original departure time is reinstated even after a hundred passengers being notified that their flight would be late. I don't think messages are sent out saying "oops, your flight will be leaving on time, after all."
