Notice here means 'warning'. The mother wants to know one hour in advance of when she will come to take her out. Landlords have to give tenants (say) one months notice of a rent increase, or (say) one weeks notice of a maintenance visit.

This is another example, when you have a job you have to give your boss 24 hours notice if you can not come to work. In this sentence the daughter was complaining that her mother only gave her one hour notice, before she had to take her to the store.
