Is there an option in BackdropCMS core to notify an admin if a user creates a new account. In particular in cases when the setting for "Who can create a new account?" = "Visitors, but administrator approval is required."

It would appear, based upon limited research that Drupal 7 needs a contrib module to do this. I'm not seeing this module for BackdropCMS yet.

I have the same problem and I see you are not getting much help here. You could create your own notification using a rule.

My thought also would be to use a rule.
