iface.activeLayer().dataProvider().deleteFeatures([1])

If you use directly the data provider you have no signals, the recommended way is using the editing buffer:
iface.activeLayer().startEditing() iface.activeLayer().dataProvider().deleteFeatures([1]) iface.activeLayer().commitChanges()
Also, check the signature of the signal: it sends a QSet of feature ids.
