“[t]he purpose of requiring reasonable notice of the State’s intention to seek enhanced punishment is to provide the defendant with an opportunity to be heard where the State alleges a prior conviction or violation of a statute.... [T]he underlying purpose of giving a defendant notice is to inform the defendant fully of the State’s case against him in order that he may intelligently conduct his defense.”
