This is exactly the way one of my GM's ran one of my character's Danger Sense, and it was a blast. He would casually say, "You suddenly have a very bad feeling." Immediately I would react; because I knew if I didn't, this GM would have no problem having some sniper blow my head off.

So, IMHO, yes: tell the player their Danger Sense just went off, but no way should you tell them it's because they're about to be attacked from behind. To my understanding, this is the RAW application of Danger Sense.
