We have any official who throws a flag blow 2-3 quick whistles after the ball is dead so I (the R) and the chains know we have a foul. So in the play you are describing, once I know we have no flag, I am signalling 1st down a time or two while moving down the field. The chains have been instructed to look at me on longer plays when the H is downfield. This works really well and gets them moving quickly.
Why don't you want to be obvious? If you know the chains are going to move, get them moving is my philosophy. I will do it and the H will also.
