In general, notifications reading “Your Teammates are trying to reach you” or “Someone is trying to reach you” are generated whenever anyone mentions your Team or Channel in Microsoft Teams.
In certain cases, you may even find someone with a specific First & Second Name (say Emily Kirby) trying to reach you in Microsoft Teams.
In this case, Emily Kirby happens to be Microsoft Teams Program Manager and it is most likely that Microsoft is trying to invite you in Teams or just trying to make sure that things are working properly.
