Yes, now it is possible to get an sms if someone tries to access your gmail account. Just go to your gmail account settings and enable "using 2-step verification". After enabling this feature you can't login to your gmail account only using correct password. You need your mobile phone or you have to use some other recovery options. even if someone knows ur account password they can't login without your mobile, and also u ll get an secret code when someone tries to login with your correct password....

Its possible to get an sms alert in gmail only when someone trying to access your account with correct password. To get that alert, you need to enable "Using 2-step verification" for your gmail account. There you have to give a mobile number to get an alert. After enabling this feature no one, even you too cant access your gmail account only with your correct password. You need your mobile number or other recovery options like secret codes(u can generate it if u want). If someone trying to access your account with correct password, you will get a secret code to your mobile. So that you can understand that someone is trying to access your account.

Select the option
"Remember me on this computer for 30 days" only if you trust that computer.

(If your select the check box "Remember me on this computer for 30 days" then you will not get tat alert if someone is accessing your account on that particular computer until the browser cookie is deleted, so don't select tat option at net cafe etc...)
