I can't speak for ALL FMSes, obviously, but I can describe the Honeywell system on the MD-11. Two ADF receivers are installed, and they can be automatically or manually tuned. Either way, the identifier only displays on the Navigation Display when the signal is received and the morse code identifier is decoded. Listening to the aural ident is not required. If the identifier is displayed, it is Tuned & Identified. If dashes are displayed, it's not.
