Seriously, bb and facebook rock. Android and fb suck. I get NO notifications. Ever. Why? I dont know why. I read on here that people do get notifications so what the deal is? Why am i not getting any?
This is on stock, on root, cm7, and same issues on my g2 and mt4g, and nether one of my phones with 2 different facebook accounts for two different people get notifications. Is there a setting in facebook on the desktop that im unaware of?

There are better and alternate facebook apps on the market maybe the notifications will work with those. I have no notification issue myself with the official app but there are other options you can try. Account/sync settings may be some help as well.

I get the exact same issue, No matter what android phone I had. No notifications are being pushed to my phone at all. I did have it working at some point, but it suddenly stopped.
Yea mine was working when I first had my mt4g, but even then it was not up to date much. Then all the sudden it stopped. Back then I was running iced glacier rom on that phone

I rarely use Facebook so I'm probably not the best indication of whether notifications are working on not, but I noticed that I used to get them fine with the old version of the app, it stopped working/worked sporadically for about two versions, and then it started working again with the latest update that just came out last week.
Like I said though, I rarely get any notifications to begin with so maybe it is still sporadic and I've just been lucky so far (especially since it seems like a lot of people have had nothing but problems with the latest update).

Ok sadly none of us seemed to think about this...
Typically, when I open facebook, I see a list of posts, then I back out and I see notifications screen, then I back out again and think its still running but in reality, its actually turned off.
Instead of backing out of the program like anything else, just hit the home button to exit fb and notifcations work just fine.

Same here. I am also using the official app and no notifications are being pushed to me either, and they are enabled. I am running stock software on my G2. My girlfriend has Mytouch 3G and she gets the notifications. Pretty weird stuff.
I just did the facebook app update the other day and my notifications are now working.
I am running CM 6.1.1
make sure in facebook app settintgs you have a CHECK next to notifications and refresh interval set to 1 hour.
also make sure contact sync is ON, which might help?
I don't use facebook.
Ehh, I'm not gunna complain, the fb is 100% better than it was half a year ago.lol. but yeah, +1 for the no notifications.

well like i said above, dont back out of the program, just hit the home button and leave it running.
if using a task killer, ignore FB. i have been getting notifications since yesterday when i tried this. apparently, FB must be running in order for notifications to work, exiting the program or killing it completely does not allow for push notifications to run thru.
Flow for Facebook is a really good alternative app. It has an option to use the email notifications you get from facebook and switch that over to use for the app. For example, If someone comments on my post I will see the email thing appear but it will disappear and switch to the flow notification saying its for facebook and what not. Theres an option to delete the emails too when it gets notified(paid version). Try it out, I have both official and flow. Flow is so i get instant notifications and the official is just for playing around because flow doesnt have chat yet.
Congrat' : you've just given your Fb IDs to a private company !
but same probleme here... I wish I could receive several sort of notifications... (birthday, event...). Now, I just receive mail....
I get notifications you need to set it up in facebook? If you not done that take a look at privacy settings. I requested on notifications when people add me on post on my wall that's it to many get really annoying......

I don't bother with the FB app notifications, they don't seem to work anyway. I just use the FB texts.
Well, I gave up on the FB App notifications months ago. So I just set up my account so it sends me texts anytime I get a notification. Way easier, at least for me. I didn't have that many problems with notifications still, but they were always late. Like a minute or so. Texts are faster, at least with me. Just saying :3
I never have problems getting notification from fb. They also are going right thru gmail

Mine are!!!!
The push notifications work for me. They work for both messages (comments and sht) and facebook chat. The facebook chat so far is better than any of those other apps ive used to use facebook chat. They finally got something right, because this facebook chat also rapes the chat on the iPhone.
I wonder if the ppl that say it doesnt work have "enable always-on mobile data" unchecked. If thats unchecked, it will not work at all on 3g. Well...it'll work when you're using the 3g, but wont work as soon as you turn your screen off.
I'm running CM6 on wifi and I haven't gotten any push notifications at all. I have notifications and such enabled and have gotten emails from facebook in the meantime, but no push notifications.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Facebook chat now on there YES
Push notifications seem to be working. I can finally disable email notifications. I like the inclusion of chat but I still prefer Trillian since I can do multi service (GChat + facebook for me) and it also supports the push notifications service.
I can't get it to STOP notifying me. I went into the settings and turned off notifications, but they're still showing up, grrrrr
^^^^ Having the same problem, any one have a solution for this. I had to actually log out because I kept getting chat notifications...
Anyone figured out why cleared/deleted chat conversations keep coming back?
Do the people that are receiving notifications have it synced in the "accounts sync" settings area of android or should the app be pushing notifications regardless? I still only receive notifications when I open the app.

force closing and clear data? i tried and had to sign back in.. havent had anything happen to test if push works for me yet...

Every time I go into add account for Accounts & Sync, Facebook just doesn't load. Facebook for HTC Sense does though as with everything else.
Ah, good I guess for me. I'm in the same boat.

How's your battery status after the last facebook update?
From what I'm seeing facebook is holding a partial wakelock for the whole time
Is this happening in any situation?
Removing the facebook account from the phone fixes the problem... but would like to keep it in...
now I'm trying with the notifications disabled...
FB has the highest partial wakelock use on mine, but it's not massive, it's bar is about 1/5 full.
but the timing is embarassing compared to other apps :/
to me it looked that the android system wakelock were very high too...
i'm trying to see if the notifications disabled it lowers down...
How can I check this?
*#*#4636#*#*
then select "battery history"
Or use Anycut to create a shortcut to the 'Testing' app.
same here.. uninstalled.
No problems here.
41 seconds total.
Although I would LOVE to be able to turn off the Facebook push notifications. Despite having disabled everything inside the FB app, they still get pushed to my phone, which drives me ****ing crazy.
I suspect having everything turned off would be why you have a very low wakelock?
Mine is very low. I set facebook to never check for updates since the last release added push notifications. I don't think polling for updates is necessary anymore. No clue why it even has the option still.

Status updates aren't pushed, I'm guessing that it'd fry the servers. So if you want your synced contacts to display their status in the contact popup you have to poll them.
Somehow the iPhone and Blackberry apps are able to use push notifications properly without frying anyone's servers. Email and SMS notifications can also be sent out instantly. I'm pretty certain there is no technical reason why the Android app can't work right.

The news feed updates don't get "pushed" to either of those devices. The polling frequency is for updating the news feed which you would want when using the facebook widget.
I'm not interested in wall updates getting pushed. Notifications get pushed to those devices, and that's all I expect from the Android app.
Newbie question, what is a wake lock and how does it drain battery?
killing the facebook app solved my problem (not only facebook where being very "active"... but also the "android system" was kept constantly awake!!)
in the usage history the system was basically never sleeping... running the whole time :/
as for now I started facebook again... and disabled the notification thing... let see what will happens...
I can confirm that disabling the notifications "fixed" the problem... no more continuos wakelock when app is started...
dunno if push is really working... (don't appear so... will see in the next days :/)

Yeah, probably.
The Facebook app is just atrocious. I hate it with a fiery passion. Basically the ONLY 2 reasons I have it installed are 1) Facebook/Contact picture sync and 2) Upload from gallery to FB.
Anybody having problems with the Facebook push notification problems. For some reason it just wont work on my desire hd.
I have tried to clear cache uninstall the update and restore the rom. I have tried all the available roms and stock by going back by installing a ruu.
How to I get it working?

I think the push notifications are not working properly yet. I used to receive push notifications from the Facebook App previously but not anymore now. So until they have released another update, I don't think the notifications are working properly.

Same here, when they updated it I was getting push notifications for a couple of weeks but now I only get notified every 4 hours (my update time for fb) or when I launch the app.
It looks like I will have to rely on email for now then. Please post with any changes if u have success in getting this to work.
It doesn't matter if I am 2g, 3g or wifi, it simply does not work...

its just a shame that a big company like facebook have a big issue like this. Got an ipod touch 4g and its driving me mad that notifications are pushed to the ipod at the speed of the light and on my DHD absolutely nothing.
facebook,please release an app that work just as it should.
btw i have some push notification problems also with whatsapp. anyone else?
Interesting, my Friend Stream has stopped working and it refuses to sign in now however my Facebook for Android app is working fine, I've just updated from 1.4.1 to 1.5.1 and it still works. I have not tested the push notification yet, let me give that a go.
I think HTC/android has a real problem with push, hotmail push doesnt work, facebook and twitter either.
Basic stuff that needs to be sorted.
I never get any FB notifications either.
Also have the occasional push problem with Gmail (see link in my sig below).
Never had any issues like this with my old Hero!
Same here, has had push notifications working great both over 3G and WiFi, but none of them work right now.
Hi,
I've been running the awesome americandroid gingerbread os in my hd2 for a couple.of weeks now and apart from.the known problems, this thing is sweet!
I have a general question that if can't figure out. How exactly does androids Facebook notifications work on gingerbread. I don't get any push notifications. I do get notified when i get a message but not when I receive status updates. I have doubled checked the settings and everything seems correct.
Anybody else having the same problem..... any obvious solution that I may have missed?
Regards,
Asmd.

Perhaps the Facebook app is not fully compatible with gingerbread? However, I prefer to use facebook mobile on the browser. Much better in my opinion because you get to see everything at once like newsfeed & any notifications.

There's a way to get Facebook notifications working on your droid from the Native FB app. Check this post out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20189736#post20189736
If you don't have access to a BB I've heard that it works with an iPhone as well. I didn't have either and went to Blackberry's website and downloaded an emulator for the Storm 2 and from my PC was able to achieve the same results. Works like a charm now and all my notifications are coming in faster than email or even when I have FB running on my laptop sometimes the notifications are even faster to the phone then when they pop up on the screen.
This is not a new problem for me- I've has this problem over a month, ever since i came from stock.. Googgled the hell out of this too! I've built my own ROMs- i work in IT for a living! What am i missing??
Okay, I'll Tell you all the obvious things that I've checked that should make it work..
yes I have gmail sync checked under accounts
Right now I'm using aoip lollipop(so some of what I say below may be features it or lollipop has), but I've used aosp, aokp both on kit Kat- with the same problem.. deleted app data for gmail, reinstalled from play store..
In the gmail app I have gone to settings, clicked my gmail account, made sure it says notification enabled, notify all emails, chose my tone- even went into each label and turned it on.. I should be getting a ding every five seconds! Silence.
Even went into settings - under privacy, filter notifications, there's nothing listed. Under sounds and notification, I found gmail, and even set it as a priority notification.
I've hit volume up and made sure it says all.(it shows me to chose no notifications, priority, or all)
I get 0 gmail notifications.
So.. In stumped. I used to be annoyed by how often gmail would go off- but now I really need it, at LEAST for a few labels!
Hell, I'm getting notifications in this XDA app.. Why not gmail?? Oh, there's a Facebook one right now! Grrr...
Please, someone help, and no I'm no noob, so don't be a condescending jerk about it either.. I see too much of that on here anymore, which is why I've gone a MONTH+ trying to figure it out myself, before posting here..
