There is no other documentation, but that also should not be necessary
really.

Xdebug only breaks when you tell it to do so. In your case, you must
have set an exception breakpoint on "Notice". In this case, that's
simply the name of the PHP error type. AFAIK, this is the only specific
PHP thing that Xdebug does.
