Hey all. I'm trying to figure out why I'm not getting my Facebook Notifications. I have everything turned on for them in the app and in phone settings. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Any suggestions on a fix? Anyone else getting this? Thanks.
Go into Settings -> Sound and Notification -> "Apps" in notification sub section and see if facebook is in there if its not thats the reason, if its not there go into facebook and open the menu (hold the Square) -> Settings -> Notifications and check if they are all on, hopefully that should sort it
My settings are all correct, but I don't get any notifications either.. Although, this was the same issue as my G2.

No dice. Everything seems correct in the settings. Any other ideas?
While we're on topic, does anyone have issues loading FB while on WIFI? It's like it never refreshes..

Not that I can tell.

Nope not got any issues with it loading on Wi-Fi
TTT.
I had that issue, but rolling back updates, disabling, enabling, then updating seems to have fixed it.

It's fine even if Facebook updates on its own?
I'm not sure what you mean. Follow my steps, and see if it helps.
It is the phones fault. Both s6 and g4 have same issue. Push notifications rarely work due to aggressive sleep policies to save battery. Sucks.

What kind of notifications are we talking here?
Because I notice fb has a 1, or a 2 for a notification. But I don't actually get it on my phone, and the notification is really just some random person liking the top post on a group page. That isn't really considered a real notification so I'm glad for that, but it does still count as one or whatever according to the monkey developers at facebook. (Seriously that number beside the app activates my hidden OCD)
I'm able to get the real notifications (ie. comments). So I think it depends on what you're referring too here.
Right, I'm not getting "real notifications" when there are comments.

Hi all,
Sorry if this is old news - but its new to me!
Whilst doing some random googling i stumbled accross another forum where a chap had posted a "fix" he had found regarding the lack of push facebook notifications with the official face book app.
Up untill now it has been the one feature for me that has really let android and my phone down.
I am not sure of the rules on posting link to other forums so I will not do that, though I will run throught the basics below.
This worked for me as well as many others on the other forum. Notifications are instant and I have the polling set to never in the FB app.
You need either a blackberry phone, or to download a blackberry phone simulator to make this work.
1) log out of the FB app on your phone
2)from home screen goto settings, applications, manage applications, facebook and clear data and cache
3)log into your facebook account on a blackberry phone and enable notifications on it. Then log out
4) log into facebook on your PC, goto Account settings (click on down arrow next to "home")
5) click on "notifications on the left hand side"
6) scroll down towards bottom of page and click on "other applications" - click on this, you should now have "facebook for blackberry smart phones" - make sure there is a toick next to this
7) log back into the FB app on your galaxy
8) go into setup, uncheck notifications, then recheck notifications
9) set refresh interval to never
10) that should be it
This honestly works 100% for me and other on the other forum. The notifications are instant and it even shows different icon in your notification bar for different types of post (ie wall post or message)
I am running CM7.1 and FB 1.7.2
This seems to work on a wide range of handsets/android platforms.
I dont know how this works. One suggestion is the permission/software the blackberry enables on the FB server is generic for mobile devices and that it is somehow "mising" from the FB app,
All i know is it works for me,
I take no credit or responsibility for this,
I hope this helps somepeople out as it was driving me nuts!
again my thanks to the original poster on the other forum
regards,
anthony
off topic but, i never installed the app because it requires practically every permission in existence, really don't trust it, knowing facebook's privacy issues
fair enough,
but the one thing that has always ruined its usability is the lack (or poor at best) notifications.
untill now anyway (for me at least)
regards
This worked for me for a while. However, I've stopped getting notifications again
forget the original facebook app, use friendcaster

Did it stop working after an update for FB?
Try this login to your FB account and go to "Account Settings". On the left hand side click "Notifications". Scroll down and you should see one near the bottom that says, "Other Applications". Click that and in there you should see "Facebook for BlackBerry® smartphones" If there is a check mark in the box, then un-check and hit save. Then re-check the box and hit save again. You're done and the notifications will start working again. If there is no check mark then add it and click save. Viola FB notifications should be working again.
Does anyone have the problem where they don't see any e-mail icons for notifications in their statusbar? I seem to have that problem.
I have auto-sync on, and it seems to constantly sync new e-mail as I check, so the letters are there, but I never get notified about it. Checked Gmail app for notifiaction settings, it's all turned on. Checked Gmail's settings from the app manager, in there notifications are also enabled.
Am I missing something here? Is it a settings or an actual rom issue? I'm running stock btw.

Not sure if this was some kind of bug, but I went into Applications manager -> Gmail -> Disabled the notifications option, then I enabled it again, and from then they finally began appearing.
Well problem is solved so far, hope this "fix" will help, just thought I'd let you know how I got around the problem.

Hi Everyone,
Requesting some help for an issue that I am facing with my galaxy watch. Not able to receive ONLY what's app notifications on the watch. All other app notifications work fine ( Messages, emails, weather or any other app that gives me notifications ) works good.
1. Looked for all settings related to notifications on the phone and watch. All look fine unless I have missed out something important related to whats app.
2. Reset the gear watch but that didn't help either
3. Uninstalled and reinstalled what's app just to make sure but that didn't work too.
Running out of ideas and looking for suggestion please.
I expect you have checked the Galaxy Wearable settings menu entry notifications list of apps and found (or not found) the What's app ?

Hi,
Yes, I have selected all apps in notifications and still same issue. I just also noticed that it doesn't work for Facebook notifications too, not too sure if that helps but thought of mentioning it. I have tried all settings possible on the watch and the phone, reset the watch but unfortunately it didn't work.
Working notifications :- Messages, Emails, weather, calls, alarms
Non working :- Facebook, whats app and some other 3rd party apps. I understand that some 3rd party apps may not have native support but ya, thats my current status.
Thank you for trying to help and please suggest if any other idea.

I assume that you do get notifications on your phone for the apps in question - otherwise, you have to adjust the setting for those.

Hi,
I had enabled them on the phone but the same issue. Thank you for your time though. Something completely unexpected at least for me that helped me resolve the issue and frankly I don't understand how. So here is how it worked, I am currently travelling and purchased a SIM that I inserted in the primary slot of my phone and the default SIM I always use is in the secondary. I swapped and that resolved my issue. I don't even know if that is related and I should have known about it but thankfully helped me end my worries and some ridiculous amount of time I spent resolving it.
Thank you again. You have a good one !
On One UI 3.0, I got my notification pop-up style on Detailed.
When I receive a message on whatsapp or some other messaging app, while the phone is unlocked, as you would expect the notification scrolls down from above and I can see the message.
When I receive a message in Facebook messenger, while the phone is unlocked, it never works. I just get the messenger icon in the status bar but no pop-up. Even before the update pop-up for messenger never worked.
Has anyone any idea how to fix this?
On the other hand while using AoD during the day and the phone is locked, I can see the messages as notifications on the lock screen.
I haven't tried the brief pop up option yet but I suspect, still no pop up notification will show up. Not sure what's up.
Hi dude, the same for me !!!

I found the solution so do this:
Settings>Apps>Messenger>Notifications>Tap on Chat and Calls> Enable "Show as pop-up".
That fixed it for me, repeat the same for the previous items on the notifications settings list.
let me know if it got fixed.
Fix for me to, I've also reset my phone (only settings).
Now I've ugly little bublle from messenger.
Go to Notifications settings for Messenger again and disable "show us bubbles" for All

It's easy to fix in the app settings, so don't get upset before you know it. Turn them off and on again, then they will work correctly. I think you might be having this problem because your page is being monitored by someone who has plans for your page for their own purposes. In order for you to be sure your page is safe, you can check https://myhow.org/how-to/track-who-views-your-facebook-profile to see who is causing possible problems in your account and in your app. It helped me a lot to avoid scammers

This sounds irrelevant...
I want the messages to stop appearing on the screen when I receive them. I try to change from here, but nothing opens to choose another option. I also reset in the developer menu but nothing changes. After many years on Samsung, it seems to me that everything is messed up here. Thank you
I assume you mean with the google messages app. Not many options in the app but if you long press the icon and choose app info -> notifications -> additional settings -> bubbles there is an option for "nothing can bubble". Try that.
I don't use the google app or have the phone on a sim yet, so I can't verify. Please report back if it works.

Thanks for the reply. It is correct what you say and that is how it should be. I know I have to walk here BUT I CAN'T. The phone (software) doesn't let me choose anything else when I press "importance"! Do not open other options! Not to show anything in the balloon was already activated. I've had the phone for 6 days and as much as I like how it looks (the only reason I bought it) the software is a joke. I am totally disappointed. I am seriously thinking of returning it. Apart from the cameras, I really consider it successful. But the software is bad.
I tried to change the setting to only one person, but it still doesn't work.
Sorry for bad english ! Google translate.
I installed and tried another messaging application from the PlayStore and I was able to set other notifications! The default application (from google) does not allow you to set other priorities.
Disappointing!
