+1 for DroidWall. It has the added benefit of blocking ads in a particular app if you decide to not allow it access to the network.
However, I should say that it doesn't EXACTLY do what you are asking. It allows you control as to what apps may or may not access the network, either via 3g, WiFi, or both. As far as I know, it doesn't tell you when one of the apps you allow access to the network actually does.
If you want something that asks you to allow/deny, try this
ps this was the 3rd result for android firewall, the first 2 being droid wall, just saying everything is out there google and you shall find.
Edit: well it seems twitter brought the company behind whispermonitor and thus all the downloads have disappeared, I will try to find an apk.
Edit2: it seems that whispermonitor only worked on the nexus S and one other phone, shame it looked promising.
Your best bet is droid wall, there is also Pdroid but it needs a rom patch.
Thank you
Will try your recommend solution

Well i did some more reading about it, and its more of a whole rom/rom mod than an apk file and it was only compatible with the nexus S and Desire I think.
Droidwall is your best bet.
Avast firewall do better than droidwall, it really alert you if any apps trying to make an connection on yhe the background, but avast is big app that come with antivirus protection which seems to be useless for android os so far.

can u explain what does each app?
basically...
rom toolbox is a kind of all-in-one app. you can change fonts, themes, as well as a built in "root explorer" and a couple of useful features too, iirc.
smanager runs scripts so you won't have to do it via terminal.
button savior...well...it's self-explanatory, i guess. you won't need to use your buttons (ie: back, menu home, power buttons) so it helps prolong the longevity of those.
tasker basically automates everything. for exampla, you plug in your headset, you can configure it so that your music app opens as soon as you do that. it does a lot of things too.
you can also have v6 supercharger or ram manager. it helps to manage your ram.
lots of great apps out there though. so i really have to suggest that you try them and find out which works best for you.

but which is better, v6 or ram manager?
just wondering
hmm.. tough one. ram manager is simpler. v6 has a lot more options, but if you're on stock kernel, you may not be able to upgrade your busybox. when i was on stock and gdx, i preferred v6. BUT i'm not saying it's better. just personal preference.

I hope it's ok to make a topic about this... Been looking around without finding any duplicate posts. I should note that i had an older rezound that i rooted just fine on gb and it tethered fine.
This new one had ics before i rooted it, and i get issues with any tethering app i use; even barnacle, which was the one i used last time. Ill post the error message i get in a subsequent post, but i think it had to do with difficulties making an ad-hoc connection or something.
Anybody face this issue?

I usually attempt to not post my stuff here as it's shameless view whoring when I do it, but here is a link to a piece I'm updating regularly about various root-using apps.
http://www.pocketables.com/2013/04/the-big-list-of-android-root-applications-and-tools.html
Gets updated on average once every week. Should give you a pretty decent idea of what you can do with rooted devices.
Root Explorer, Performance Booster (root) and Titanium Backup are the vital tools you need.
