Does "Get noticed" use like "Get a job"?
"Bitcoins are a great way for small businesses and freelancers to get noticed."
I understood [to get noticed] like [to get a notification], but
"It doesn't cost anything to start accepting them," ?
"and you'll get additional business" ?!
I thought it isn't.
So,
1. "Get noticed"=="Get a job"?
2. Can't I use "get notice" as "get a notification"?

No, one meaning of "get" is to "receive," and another meaning is to "obtain." So, e.g., "It was raining, and I got wet when I went outside to get something from my car." The first form means I received rain on my body, and the second form means I was retrieving something from inside my car. In your examples, you receive notice/attention, and you obtain a job.

"I understood [to get noticed] like [to get a notification]" ...well, here's the problem. These phrases are not the same.
"Get" is a very flexible word and as Brad pointed out, it can have different meanings. This depends on the context. Here's a starter tip:
get [noun] = receive
get [adjective] = become
"Noticed" is not a noun. It's a verb in past participle from, which means we can use it as an adjective.
"Bitcoins are a great way for small businesses and freelancers to become noticed."
Also, "notice" and "a notification" are not exactly the same thing either. You'll need to check similar-looking words very carefully.
