People are not notified when you cancel a friend request.

Before you connect with another Facebook user, the social networking site requires that you send a request for friendship. Once you send the request, the other Facebook user has an opportunity to review it and either accept or deny a friendship with you. If, after sending a friend request, you change your mind, canceling the request is easy. With just click, the friend request will be revoked.
