Hi
Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) declare sat nav jamming exercises, dates times, locations, and are shown on the NATs website. (This is global, every country has their own version of NATS and all show the same global NOTAMS).
Whilst the NOTAMS are intended for pilots, and you have to put in a pilot licence number in the NATS website details to register (not sure it is checked though), there are many apps on smartphones that interrogate the NATS site and display NOTAMS for you in the app. Just look up NOTAMS on the app stores. So you do not need a licence to get the App, anyone can.
That said - it's a bit of a faff to do so, you have to lookup for NOTAMS for a date range , then scan it for GPS jams, rather than they push the NOTAM to you.
Hope it helps,
Paul.

Nice to know there's another option Paul. I remember it used to be possible to go on a mailing list at Ofcom and get an email when new jamming notices were issued but I think the last one I got was in Decmeber 2012 so I guess that option's gone as part of cost cutting!
