I have received notice many times, most of those resulted in my group not being called in. One time I was on call for a holiday week (I think Thanksgiving or Christmas), and figured that the lawyers wouldn't schedule cases, and sure enough, all groups dismissed on the first day of being on-call.
I did get called in twice, once was superior court about 30 years ago, a hospital being sued by a wheelchair bound patient. On the second day of jury selection the case was settled out of court, I think they had only selected 7 jurors by then and I was never called to the stand to be questioned.
The second time I was called in was about 4 years ago, judge asked if there were any special situations, I requested to be removed because it was scheduled to be a lengthy trial and my mother in law was near death (and died two weeks later). Judge dismissed me, to be recalled in 6 months. Never got another notice.
