No. This refers to a myth that when a Muslim martyr dies, he promised 72 virgins.
The Quran does not promise martyrs 72 virgins in heaven. It does mention companions, houri, to all people—martyr or not—in heaven, but no number is specified. The source for the 72 virgins is a hadith (a saying that's not part of the Qur'an) in Sunan al-Tirmidhi by Imam Tirmidhi.

Do Muslims believe they will get 40 virgins in heaven?
No, they get 72 virgins. What they plan to do with those virgins I do not know.It is reward promised by Almighty Allah in the holy Qur'an, and the holy Prophet s.a.w. in his sayings. But the promise is not restricted to mytered ones. It is general promise done to each man who goest to Jannat (paradise). These are the wives of that person. The number 72 is idiomatic and figurative, not exact figure. It means 'many'. It is extremely unfortunate that the satanic minds are using it to persuade innocent youths to explode themselves killing innocent human beings. It is utterly Un-Islamic and condemnable act.

Why are suicide bombers raised how they are?
This may vary according to culture and area. For WW2 reasons, the Kamikaze pilots were informed that they would be doing the highest honor for their country and that their family would be cared for. For other suicide bombers such as in parts of Russia and the Middle East, you should consider how the individual focuses on their religion or cause. Some die as a result of an accident when they meant for the bomb to be a threat and nothing else. Some die believing they are killing someone else incredibly dangerous or sending a message. People who believe in the original Koran belive infidels who dont believe in their God deserve to die and if they kill them they are fine. In some cases individuals can be so extreme in their religion that they may convert to suicidal bombing (men may believe in recieving the 72 virgins in Heaven as a reward of killing themselves and infidels for Allah).
