You should be able to get notifications when a task is assigned, updated and closed. These would show in the activity tab in teams.
If you do not get any notifications you may want to check: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-planner-in-microsoft-teams-62798a9f-e8f7-4722-a700-27dd28a06ee0
