1: calling for notice

That's the definition for it as an adjective. You used it as an intransitive verb. 

Two possible definitions:

1: to call loudly


2: to shed tears often noisily 

You were using it as a hyperbole either way, but within the context of your post, "crying about X" heavily suggests the 2nd definition. "Crying that X" would suggest the 1st.
