This falls under the United States Code: Title 18.2511. As long as you actually take part in the conversation and are doing so in a State that allows "One Party Consent", it is quite legal to record the conversation without another party in the conversation giving permission or even being told that they are being recorded.
The answer with the States provided is exactly correct and the actual US code was provided to prove its validity. No one needs to be "Notified" in "One Party Consent" States which Missouri is indeed one of. It is true that you cannot ever record another person or persons conversation without one of the parties consent or all parties consent in the 12 named States if you're not part of the conversation, but as long as you yourself are a part of that conversation, you are permitted under that US code to record the conversation as you are that "One Party" and it is a little silly to notify yourself, don't you think? To use as an example, if I were to receive a call from a debt collector and I answered the phone while in the State of Missouri, I can start recording the conversation as soon as I answer the phone without telling the caller that I am doing so. It is what is considered "Black letter law" and can't be disputed in a Court of Law.
Not without at least one party to the call or conversation being notified that recording is occurring. It is illegal in ALL states to intercept and record conversations to which you are not a party.
