It would depend on what you're doing to cause that to happen, but it's 
unlikely Android has some magic authentication message for whatever 
you're doing either. For example, accidentally selecting all the test 
and replacing it with a space will not give you a warning message on 
any computer system.

You could possibly try the Undo feature to undo whatever you've just 
done, but again it depends on wht you did.
