The IRA usually (plenty of exceptions and changes over time) phoned ahead, they wanted the impact of terrorism without the bad press of civilian killings. Not a particular relevant example in modern times though.

I wonder if it's more about phsycology, someone making a bomb threat is seeking attention for some reason and ignoring it might make their behavior escalate.
