I don't think there are notifications of parking events- I don't recall seeing or hearing anything from the cam. It can be a handy feature but like any detection-based parking mode in any cam I prefer the absolute capture of low-bitrate or time-lapse parking recording myself. With a large enough card I'm sure to see any damage in time to find it before it's over-written. This even with the near-perfect all-cam motion detect of the A139 which I can recommend for those who like doing it that way.
The more you ask of a cam, the more it will cost and the more work the processor will have to do. After reliability I think the most important part of a dashcam is video quality and Viofo does that better than anyone, so I'll accept not having all the "bells and whistles" you might find in feature-rich cams like Blackvue and Thinkware sell. The A139 is a mid-priced cam so you can't really expect it to do what those cams will since it costs so much less. Every dashcam is a compromise in some way but this one seems to be the perfect compromise to me, giving the best of what you really need even if it doesn't do everything that some people want it to do. IMHO there is no better 3-channel cam out there today than the A139
