"inform" means to tell something to someone and "notify" means basically the same thing but in a formal way.
Some example sentences:
"Did you inform her about the test today?"
"Did your boss notify you about the meeting?"
In English, people don't use the words "inform" or "notify" that often. We would usually just say "Did you tell her about the test?" or "Did your boss tell you about the meeting?"
