Yes, like this:
 ANR8914I Drive DRIVE04 (/dev/rmt/10mt) in library DLTLIB needs to be cleaned.

You have to check in a cleaning cart in a specific way (see the Admin guide) and
set the "cleaning frequency" option on the drive(s) to "ASNEEDED"

> 3. Is that action notified in actlog (which message)?

The series of messages:
 ANR8914I Drive DRIVE04 (/dev/rmt/10mt) in library DLTLIB needs to be cleaned.
 ...
