The only time Gmail contact you (in my experience) is if you try to log in from an IP address which is wildly different from where their records show you normally access the system from, and that's an exceptionally good security measure, IMHO. Eg, when I visited the US recently, and tried to collect email from my gmail account from my iPhone, Gmail blocked access and sent me a text message warning me of a possible hacking attempt. I simply had to go to the URL in the text message and manually log on to confirm that this was a legitimate access attempt, and subsequently I accessed from many different places in the US without problems.
I'm thankful for these security measures, personally.
