Cain likely knew his offering was rejected through a combination of his own internal feelings and possibly a visible sign from God. The biblical account suggests that God looked with favor on Abel's offering but did not regard Cain's, which may have provoked feelings of anger and dejection in Cain. Additionally, the lack of divine approval or acceptance could have been communicated to him in a manner that was clear, leading to his understanding of rejection.

Why was Cain furious with God?
Cain was a tiller of the ground, fulfilling the role that God promised for Adam in chapter 3, when he drove Adam out of the Garden of Eden. He made an offering of his crop to God Then, in spite of Cain's generous offering, God refused his sacrifice and showed a clear preference for the offering made by his younger brother, Abel.
Did Cain know that he had to offer a blood sacrifice?
Scripture does not clearly state the Adam and/or Eve ever had "Sacrifice Protocol 101" with Cain and Abel. Although I have heard it taught that because God slayed animals to make tunics for Adam and Eve this indicated a clear need for a blood sacrifice atoning for sin. This is the most prominent and accepted teaching I have heard. I think the scriptures state the real reason for Abel's acceptance and Cain's rejection in their offerings was due the place in their heart God occupied. The Word of God records (KJV) that And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. And in the process of time.(As the boys grew old enough to worship God) that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. (from the produce that Cain was growing, Cain brought a portion to God as an offering). And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. (Abel too, brought an offering. The firstlings ((FIRSTFRUITS)) of his flock. Abel showed God that God was most important to him. Abel offered the firstfruits of his flock and Cain showed God that He, (God) held a lesser place in his life because the offering was a portion of the fruit of the ground and not the "firstfruits". God has a odd belief that it is all about Him, and that He ought to be First in the lives of His creation. Abel displayed this preeminent position to God and was accepted both he and his sacrifice. Cain on the other hand showed lesser reverence and his offering was rejected, but God did let him know that if he did better (held God dearer) he too would be accepted. This too is what we are guilty of when the World gets it's portion of our FIRST 90% and God gets HIS 10% last from our checkbook. Faithful tithers CAN live under a curse too...
