Push notifications stop on Facebook app after switching ROMs

I'm having a problem restoring my push notifications on the Facebook app when I switch between ROMs on my GS3.
I have Paranoid Android installed now, and I previously had the latest AOKP build. I backed up the AOKP build via the recovery, then flashed PA, restored apps from Titanium, and here I am. But.. no Facebook notifications! I tried logging out and back into the FB app to "reregister" the device with the Google Cloud Messaging service or whatever, in order to hopefully restore the notifications, but no dice! I also disabled and re-enabled notifications within the FB app.
Strange thing is if I restore my AOKP backup, then I get flooded with all of the old notifications from FB!
Other apps seem to work fine for push notifications -- Gmail, WhatsApp, Google Voice, even Facebook Messenger. It's just the app itself doesn't seem to like to notify me unless I go back to AOKP.
Anybody experience anything like this?

It's happened to me before, did you dirty flash? I went from one rom to another without a factory reset by accident, usually do it. But most everything worked fine except for the facebook app messages so I ended up just uninstalling and reinstalling the facebook app and it worked! I eventually did factory reset my device though just incase there were other issues I hadn't yet come across.

Silly me... I just uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and that did the trick! I assumed logging out and back in was as good as uninstalling and reinstalling, but I guess not!
I did do a clean flash initially, with wiping everything.
Thanks for the idea!:good:

No notification on Wechat or Google play app updates.

Hi pplz,
I'm currently on s.ROM but this problem has occurred in prior tried ROMs too.
I seem to get no notification for wechat incoming msg and even incoming voice or video calls. I only know this because friends have notified me and waiting for a reply via WhatsApp. I then proceed to open Wechat and behold I see multiple msgs waiting and the odd call missed.
I check to see if Wechat is running apps almost every time I reboot and it is with its services running. So what's the problem here?
I also get a similar problem with google play app update notifications... They never appear until I open Google play itself and look in My apps or when I reboot the phone then the notifications I get after the system has loaded.
So is this a problem with the app/gcm services they use? As WhatsApp and telegram runs perfectly.
I Xposed running with boot manager, greenify and amplify, but I have not selected any of these apps to touch the msging or google play apps.
I had the same problem prior to using Xposed FYI.
Any suggestion on what I could do? Or diagnose the problem.
Tks in advance.

Not receiving notifications from apps?

Couldn't find a solution to this issue some other users have been having on their other devices, but I've noticed my phone doesn't receive lots of notifications it should.
Apps like Whatsapp are always received, but for example, I don't receive IG notifications. I've played around in settings, but nothing answers my problem. I'm running the latest stock firmware.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've faced this too.
Once the app is running in recent apps then it shows the notifications.
Try force stopping and again starting the app.

Apps auto updating

I checked off the box in the play store to not allow auto updating. However some apps are still auto updating. For example fb and instagram auto updated. I still get notifications that there are updates available for other apps. Is there something i can do to shut off auto updates for these apps? Thank you

there is an option in gplay store too for removing notification for apps update. facebook and instagram update because there is facebook installer or so installed on system partition, which is not related to gplay store and therefore they still update...but why do you want to turn off auto update and even the notification?

Go to Settings / Apps and deactivate everything with Facebook or Instagram in its Name
You maybe have to choose "show system" in the Apps Menu

Sorry for late reply. I do not want apps updating without my permission. A lorry of times these updates make the app worse for me.
I also noticed that since the last sysytem update (2.38) my battery is significantly worse.
Im thinking about rooting they phone just to get rid of fb and instagram on phone. Wanted to dl the old fb apk that did both need messenger.

I do the same thing, I like to read what has changed in apps before updating also. there has been many times where the update has broken an app and I couldn't go back due to it not being a system app. I like viper rom cause in the installer I can remove system apps like facebook and Instagram before the initial system install and never have them auto update.

Notification counter

I would love to have a widget that shows me how many notification I have, including all apps like Whatsapp, Youtube, Snapchat, Google Now etc and not only Phone and Sms. A counter would be enough already.
Tried with Tasker, but I am quite new to the modding and therefore wasn't able to make it work.
Could anybody help me out?
