To begin with, there is no obligation for an insurance company to notify a beneficiary of the status of the policy or any changes to it. A policy is a contract between the insurance company and the policyowner only.

If the insured has died after the policy terminated due to nonpayment of premium, should an insurance company choose to do so, they may make some minor payment to the beneficiary, perhaps part of the premium paid. However, they are under no legal obligation to do so and most companies will not pay a death benefit on a terminated policy.

Can I name myself as the beneficiary of my own life insurance?

Other than naming a Trust in your name as the beneficiary, writing a life policy in your own name wouldn't be written. If naming yourself as the benficiary, the death benefit would be paid into your estate. An insurance company would not write a policy in this manner since an "insurable interest" is required prior to binding a life policy.
