Actual Notice:   Notice provided directly and expressly.   

Constructive Notice:   Notice given indirectly, through public records.  In real estate, perhaps the most important type of constructive notice occurs via the recordation of documents.

Another common type of constructive notice occurs by posting an event in the newspaper--property auctions, registration of fictitious business names, etc.

In certain legal situations (such as the recording of a deed), the world is charged with having constructive notice

Constructive notice is when the faccts imply receipt. Actual notice is exactly that, no denial!

If I represent a buyer and they close on a property I have actual notice that they own the property.  When that buyer records the deed to the property that is constructive notice, they give notice to the world that they own the property.
