I think this should be added for one reason, you can have a person who requested to be your friend for months or whatever for quite some time, before you look down there and even notice you have a friend request. (this has happened to me)

This is no huge change, but I think it would be nice to know when someone asks to be your friend.

Let me know what you all think!
