No. If the context of your employment does not warrant an announcement like this and you do not feel comfortable, do not do it.

Telling where you will be working happens in some professions because people are leaving "on good terms" and therefore they are sharing the good news with everyone. It also happens because the current job was used for references for the new job and we will see each other at professional events and so forth. People would have no choice but to know your business because they knew your business when you were "not so secretly" (people talk) applying for the new position.
