Actually, you'll be served in person. The Constitution requires that those involved in any legal action are given the opportunity to not only know what (if any) charges are being brought against them, but also to know their accuser. As a consequence, however, it is generally considered that subpoenas for court appearances - even as a witness - are to be delivered in person and a receipt is usually required for proof of your receipt (if a Sherriff's deputy or other person is handling the summons).
So yes, you'll know it when you get "served".

you have to be presented the papers in person. If you aren't home, they will just keep trying to track you down

In some states they have to give it to you physically. Call your local sherriffs office to find out for sure.

They leave something to let you know they were there or track you down

I think when you "are served," whoever is serving them, must put them in your hands and tell you that you've been served.
