I found a fix that made it possible for push notifications to come through in realtime (for comments,tags etc.). I heard about that BlackBerry simulator solution and this is what i did : I downloaded a BB simulator (for 9300 series of phones or something...basicaly BB 7.0 or so). I logged out the FB app on Android, then i fired up the BB simulator/emulator and i I entered my facebook credentials in the BB's FB app and enabled "push notifications" and i also disabled all email notifications within the app. After that i logged-out and so FB push notifications started coming through immediately on my Samsung Galaxy Try it ,it freakin works! P.s.: i would love to know if it worked for you. And another thing, don't forget to re-login on the FB app on the Nexus and ENABLE NOTIFICATIONS in the Options menu (the first checkmark box just under "refresh interval". Every other things like Event Invite,Messages and Friend Requests don't come through via Push but via refresh interval. Everything else will work through PUSH

For FB settings do you need update intervals enabled? If so, how often?

No not really you will get instant fb notifications, i set mine to every 30 mins though it really does not make a difference
Facebook app is such a mess.
On my Sensation and other phones, with notifications turned off, I get PERFECT notifications.
Now with my new Galaxy Nexus, with it on or off I don't get any notifications.
Man I hate them.

Yes you need to be signed out of any facebook when you do this trick
So basically if I have the Facebook messenger app installed on my phone, this will not work?
For example I removed facebook app from my xoom. I installed facebook app on my nexus. I also have the facebook messenger installed on my nexus. So can I use this method?
works for me! make sure u remember to sign out of both facebook and facebook messenger on your gnex before u sign in on the simulator
Worked for me.
Just follow the instructions, and remember to log out.
anyone having roblems with push FB notifications?
It's never worked for me. I've heard that Facebook said their push notifications are supported on Android, but never seen it, no matter what settings you use in the app.
BUT if you want to get push notifications for Facebook messages, then that is supported in their separate (official) app, which I've had no problems with.

FIX:
Find a friend with a blackberry or use/download the blackberry emulator.
Log into facebook in the blackberry app, grant it permission to your facebook data.
Push notifications should now work on your android device.
I know it's weird, but that seems to make it work for some reason.
never worked for me
but i've ditched it for the time being since it was eating up 20% of battery usage =/

I was getting notifications, but uninstalled the app to save on batteries. Now I use the mobile version online, which has pretty much all the features as the app.
Stock 4.0.1 rom
BB fix works for me, make sure you change the notification sound from silent to whatever you want (mine is the facebook pop)
Also you can change the refresh to never because the important stuff is pushed regardless. (saves battery)
Also IMPORTANT, make sure you don't have the facebook account signed in on any other android devices such as tablets or other phones.
Do this and facebook push will work every time.

fb notifications work about 25% of the time for me.
Been that way since they released their app for Android.

Might do this myself. This whole not getting notifications is dumb since both sides say they're supported but don't work -.-
actually it was working for me till yesterday and it stopped today, so BB fix is not involved here.
just wondering if from time to time push notifications stop working for a reason

When I was at stock 4.0.1 or 4.0.2, FB push works perfectly for me (I guess).
But after having flashed AOKP Milestone 3 build from 4.0.3, push stopped working for no reason.
What always 100% worked for me was deactivating and then reactivating my facebook account. I switch roms frequently and sometimes FB push notification would not work on certain roms unless I do what I mentioned earlier. Just log back in to reactivate your account. Hope this helps.

Mine have also stopped within the past day or so. I originally had to do the BlackBerry trick to get them working in the first place too. I tried deleting and clearing the data cache, as well as uninstalling then reinstalling the app and trying the BlackBerry trick again but that doesn't work.
No idea why they've stopped.
I was running AOKP Milestone 3 build 22 and FB push stopped working.
I tried to deactivate / reactivate my FB account according to DOHCtor's method but no luck.
Tonight I flashed the build #23 and FB push start working correctly. I have no idea.
Furthermore, FB Messenger seems not working
Hi all, How are you?
I have a Galaxy Nexus with Android stock 4.1.1 JR003C and Facebook app 1.9.8.
I am experiencing a weird issue with latest fb app update, May someone help me please?
I have turned on all notifications on my fb account and on the app settings, but I still don`t get any notifications at all.
I mean, I have push notifications enabled on fb app and also in my fb account. However, I don`t receive any notifications on my cell phone.
I have tried clean the fb app cache/data and also re-install it. However, It didn`t fix this issue.
Please, does someone know what can be this issue root cause?
Thanks in advance,
Roger

Make sure allow notifications is ticked in the Android App Options or use G+ or the browser

just wanted to chime in that im not receiving notifications even though ive made sure all the proper options are checked.
running mROm.
Facebook notifications on Android 4.x are VERY buggy. Try a Google search on the matter. For some people it works, for others it has never worked. Despite all settings are OK. I fixed mine by lending a Blackberry device from someone and logged into Facebook using the BB Facebook app for that one time. The theory is that allowing the BB app access to your FB account somehow fixes notifications for Android as well. This workaround has proved to fix it for many people myself included. Worth a shot imho.
The only way mine work was to activated bb on facebook. Hello facebook android is not a bb!

Is there a kind of blackberry emulator for developers that I can use?
Btw, all notifications settings on Facebook website and on Facebook Android app are correct. Fb app notifications have stopped to work on my cell phone after the latest fb app update...
Google plus looks like good choice, but nobody uses it.
Access fb website on cell phone doesn't give me push notifications.
Thanks in advance,

Guys, same thing here! Notifications not working! Galaxy Note, using AOKP 4.0.4 ROM.
In fact, I had this problem in the past, but I solved it using exactly this BlackBerry method. Now it's not working again! I even did this BlackBerry login thing using emulator again, but still without notifications here. As my birthday was on August 27, I thought that, maybe, due to lots of notifications about "happy birthday", Facebook stopped on purpose all those notifications, but now I'm noticing it's in fact a bug!
Please, Roger, tell us if it will work to you! As I said, I tried this again and now it's not working!
And I really don't know when Facebook will made decent apps for Android. Probably Mark Z. is an stupid Crapple fan boy!

Did this tomorrow before going to sleep, after doing one more time BlackBerry trick. A few hours ago, when I woke up I noticed a Facebook notification, about a comment in a picture I was tagged. I became happy, because I thought the issue was solved, but I had more notifications after that and it's not working again.
Hi all,
I tried the blackberry workaround, and It didn't work for me.
Please, does someone know another workaround for this issue?
Btw,I tried Facebook app on my ipod touch, and it seems that notifications works on IOS...
Thanks in advance,

I have also tried wiping Facebook app cache, and also reinstalling the app itself.
Unfortunately, neither worked.
does this notifications issue only affects galaxy nexus?

No, it's an issue of the Android Facebook app. It's supposed to get a major overhaul that will be released in the next few weeks, just like iOS. Let's hope that will fix a lot of issues including buggy notifications.

Google have blocked fb contact sync only for nexus series since Android 2.3, right?
I was wondering if this fb notification issue is another block from Google?
It's not.

let me clarify it for you. Google had blocked Facebook syncing on android because of privacy issue. Facebook notification doesn't have any issues with privacy, so that's why Google only blocked contact syncing
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
I think my notifications are back here, although just some of them are being notified here.
Using Galaxy Note, AOKP 4.0.4 and latest Facebook app.

thanks for clarifying
I am aware about this privacy disagreement between Google and Facebook (I am very concerned about my privacy on internet), but the majority of the users don't care about it. Besides, I think that blocking fb sync is stupid decision as it is very unlikely that fb will do something about it...
I hope that Android will lose market share to Apple with new IOS with fb integration, thus Google might realize that it was a bad decision, and hopefully will stop to force users to use Google plus (it is good,but nobody uses it).
Btw, I have just received an update for fb app(1.9.9) and it didn't fix the notifications issue. Did it fix this issue for someone?
i have tried just about ever rom that is available for my phone and on each one i dont get any push notifications. i have tried using push notification fixer and that didnt do anyrthing. but after a week of staying on the rom the notifications start to work. i talked to a friend who use to work at verizon and he said that it seemed like a network issue but he didnt know for sure. would anyone on here know what is wrong with my phone. any help would be nice. im currently using the newest version of root box
Hmm... are you on WIFI? or Data? i dunno it might be possible that the sync is off :S or something like that did u install the sotck rom? to check if it's working ? if so u might wanna try that .. i havn't had this issue ... i've been changing roms alot these days i've recieved notifications on all of them .. is there any specific app that your talkin' about?
im using data. the wifi in my house sucks. i havent gone back to stock yet. but im talking about not getting notifications from facebook, facebook messenger, snapchat apps like that. the only notifications i get are texts and gmail. i have turned sync on and off many times thinking it was that.

And I assume you have checked the settings in those apps and made sure notifications are enabled? Also, are you using a third party SMS app that might be blocking other apps from displaying notifications? Some apps do that.

Hello All,
Got my G3 2 days ago and I noticed that I dont receive notifications for comments, events, likes, friend requests.
My notifications in FB are already enabled. I have already soft restarted by removing battery. I already HARD reset the phone and nothing has changed.
I guess the small red bubble that appeared on all apps when having a notification is not applicable to LG G3? (I used to be a GS4 owner before)
Does anyone else experience this?
Any workarounds?
Please note that I am on V10h-EUR-XX
anyone please? my friends are getting them except me!;/
Anyone please?
basically my notifications are ENABLED under App Settings in facebook app.
The strange thing is that in the facebook app under account settings --> Notifications --> Mobile Push ...Those notifications I receive them successfully.
the notifications under App Settings I do not receive them.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Hi
Facebook notifications are working (now) without problems on my LG G3. But the strange thing is, after an update in august of my LG G3 I had the same issue like you.
What I have to do was....
-- Settings
-- Applications
-- Find the Facebook app
-- In it, the "Show notification" check was unchecked!
After I checked it, I received the notificatoin like before
Maybe it helps....
Thanks.
I fixed them with a different way.
I have followed this guide.
