Because the Death Star can't talk.
Probably every person on the Death Star were watching the attack on the rebel homebase.

The novelization says that it was General Tagge, and that's what I went with. If Alan Dean Foster got the names mixed up, considering neither Tagge or Motti are actually mentioned by name on film, it was an easy mistake to make. Substitute all the General Tagges in my theory to Admiral Motti, and it still applies.

What the hell is an Aluminium Falcon?
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought my Dark Lord of the Sith could protect a thermal exhaust port thats only two meters wide!
It wasn't even fully paid off yet!

right, it's a small correction anyway. and the novel got a couple things "wrong" anyway. Blue Squadron, anyone?  (Maybe they didn't spot the Falcon because they were looking for it  )

Vader sound have sensed the incoming Falcon, period. There was no need for the Death Star to alert Vader that the Falcon was coming, he should have easily sensed it through the Force. The real question was why Vader was unable to. My guess, it had something to do with Luke Skywalker.

I think the Falcon came screamin pretty fast inbound, and even if it showed up on sensors, I think Han has some fake ID's that would transpond it being just a regular "run of the mill" transport, not a threat to the Imperial ships. Vader and wingmen where all eyes forward, on Skywalker as he was the true threat at the time......
