You couldn't be further from the truth. When you crack a bone/joint, you're simply bursting an air bubble in the fluid from the surrounding joints. The Sternum is a bone, with joint/cartilage surrounding it. If you exert enough pressure on it, you can crack it.
Sorry the above comment was meant as a reply to another posters comment.
But in responce to your question, yes it is normal. You're not the only one who does it. I myself do it - and admittedly - I love doing it. There's a great deal of satisfaction when I pop it. So carry on! unless you start to feel pain.
