So I've had this problem for a very long while, in that I get absolutely no Facebook notifications! Well, save for some random notifications for messages, and often times I don't really have any new messages, or the app isn't able to fetch them from the server. Tried uninstalling then reinstalling the app, clearing its data... this was on Froyo. Installed Gingerbread, installed the Facebook app from the Market, and still no notifications!
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong?
The app sucks its not the phone

Well I guess it's not the phone but when I first got it, notifications came without any issues. And suddenly they stopped. :/

That's a bug in Facebook apps, sometimes you receive notification and sometimes you don't. Try other Facebook apps like friend-caster- they have an option to post notification to gmail.

Well I don't use my Gmail address anyway. And yes, I was considering FriendCaster, but it seems they haven't included Chat yet.

Try adding another topup, and use facebook chat apps/gosms facebook chat instead.

Same problem
I had the same problem a while back, after much installing and uninstalling and double checking the notifications from my laptop and phone, I concluded that the problem was really the app, shows how buggy apps can be. I've been getting message notifications from the app (since I was offline in chat) but the messages were never shown under "Messages" nor in "Chat". Notifications on the other hand most of the time work properly. There were some instances on the previous updates that it did update, meaning there was a number there in a red circle, but when I opened my notifications, no actual new updates were there, although it appeared on my browser.

Yep, there's nothing we can do about it, unless we want to code a program ourselves. Well that's just me...

I don't know any Java, so I can only assist, or cheer for whoever starts writing one.
Just tried this it works. Basically log into Facebook on a Blackberry and get push notifications. I know we all hate Facebook works on android but if you want a notification instantly when someone contacts you, try this.

You should change it to "making facebook notifications work" I did that yesterday I though it was interested and for some reason so far is working, even tho i have been getting most of my notifications on my evo 3d already
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d

I read about this and thought about trying it. It's always annoyed me that I never got any facebook notifications, because I thought I was supposed to...ya know?
...but the more I thought about it the more I realised how irritating it would be to actually get all of my facebook notifications in my notification bar...and how much more annoying it would be to have a notification sound to go with it....and I don't even have a huge friend list...
Even though notifications was a huge problem with fb app, its still not that useful of an app compared to like bb or ios versions. Ive found friendcaster works way better nd always shows notifications and takes u directly to the appropriate place in the app. It does forward u to the touch or mobile site for a few things here nd there but overall way ahead of official app!

I like friendcaster a bit better than the standard app as well. Still, it could be much better.
Haha...this is funny because I posted these exact same findings on another Android site (the "Central" one) last Friday, August 5th and by Sunday the mods had tested it, put up a video, shot it to the front page and made a Sticky of it in the Applications forum. I can tell you that it works. Facebook for Android basically piggy backs on the Blackberry for Android permissions. There's approximately about 95% functionality with this. One of the things that doesn't work correctly for example are Poke notifications. You get the push notification but when you click on that particular one nothing happens. It's a very minor issue in my book.
What is this Facebook?
Don't worry guys, After Nov 5 Facebook is no more.

My recent phone history: BB Curve>BB Tour>HTC Hero>HTC EVO 4G>Samsung Epic>HTC EVO3D
I just checked and I still have the BB permissions on my FB Account Setting and I'm not getting push notifications.
I will try to sign in on a BB when I get access to one because I remember getting push notifications on my Hero when I had it, which was directly after I had the Tour.
I don't know if this is phone or app related but push notifications rarely work. The only app that seems to be working is MSNBC,
Facebook no notification of new messages etc
Twitter no notifications of mentions, PM's etc
Google+ Notifications only when you open the app
Anyone else have these issues? As I say the news ones like MSNBC,CNN seem to work fine the social networking ones don't and they did all work fine on my Desire S, Infact Google+ used to be a right torture

try clearing the cache and data of the apps in settings applications and see what happens
Mate I'm the same. I've cleared cache etc. but it never does anything. I'm running XXKI4 rooted with cf root then with stock kernel just to remove the yellow triangle. Gmail never sends push, I have to manually refresh, twitter never send notifications, market never does update notifications, even the ones set for auto, the only one that works is facebook. This one works flawlessly for me. I kind of got used to manually checking, but wish I didn't as coming from iphone, as bad as the notifications were, at least I got them!!

I'd agree with this, I never had an issue with push on the iPhone and on the news apps I got alot more, MSNBC you could of got 3-4 a day, same with CNN, On the SGS2 I get maybe 1 every other day and with the pull down menu being black and the writing of the push being black you can't read it anyway so all rather pointless.

same here bro..stupid question have you tried unistalling the app and installing it again? the one that you want to get notifications for? i know stupid idea but might help
Push for Facebook hasn't worked for me on any rom i've tried yet. CM7 KI8 and a few others. Only app that works flawlessly is FotMob a soccer scores app.

Yeah tried it to no avail
1. You need to enable background data
2. You need to enable auto-sync
(both in settings -- accounts)
3. If your use juice defender, it turns off wifi and data when the screen goes off. So unless you set up a schedule or rule you won't get push.
4. If you use a task killer, when the app is killed you won't get push
5. With Android you don't get true push (its an Apple thing). The true equivalent push are apps that use autosync (ie google apps and twitter). The other apps even facebook simply run in the background and it transmits background data directly. This is less efficient than push but it does get the job done.
I use the weatherbug app on my phone and with every cm rom i've had on various phones, the sound for a weather alert does not work, i get the notification in status bar, but no sound. anyone else??? i've tried everything and it won't work, works fine on all other roms.

I haven't tried this myself, but if you experience this issue across several CM versions and devices, it's worth reporting to the JIRA bug tracker. Be sure to reproduce the issue on a milestone, RC, or stable release, else your bug report will be tossed out.
Oh, I just saw that you're talking about a third-party app. I use WeatherBug Elite on my phone. I've turned on sound notifications, but I don't have a way to create a weather alert so I can't test it immediately. Not sure when bad weather will roll through either...

I can confirm this behavior today. I received numerous weather alerts that all showed in status bar, but no sound. This is most likely a bug in the application considering other apps are able to activate the notification sound without issue. I suggest e-mailing the developer (I will do the same).

yes, but if you set the notification sound to deault system it works, got mall kinds of alerts today, with the sound, storming like crazy here today. I've already sent an e-mail
What a lousy reply:
The application does not support custom ROM/Mods at this time.

Got a question on this app also. If I use the free version everything works great. Now when I go to install the elite version, everything works except my google maps won't load under the radar tab. It shows the rain or snow but not the google map. Is there anyway to fix this?

I recently noticed that every once in a while, seems like every hour or so that my s4 will vibrate once, and only once with absolutely no indication of why, no sort of notification, and I am losing my mind trying to figure out what is causing it. I have gone through a bunch of apps and disabled any kind of notification, uninstalled lots of apps and yet, it still happens. Does this happen to anyone else and or does someone know why? I am on mdk. Thanks.
Bump. No one has run into this..? Googling the issue has been useless.

Does it happen only when you pick up the phone? If so, this is an optional feature that indicates you have unread messages. That's about the only thing I can think of.
this also has been happening to me. i started noticing this at night

No, it can happen when it is in my pocket off, or when I am using it even.
Bmup. Still happens, tried using notification history app, and that showed nothing when the phone vibrated.
Bump. I've experienced this randomly myself.
I've noticed that if I have emails in gmail that I didn't check like" promotions" as the sperate it then mine does that. Might zero you in on a target.

i had the same issue. in my case it was vibrating everytime i got a new email on the outlook.com app. even though i turned off all notification for that app it still vibrates.
I checked those other things already and it was still doing it. Though I believe I just figured it out in my case. Handcent privacy box. It had sent message notification in the status bar disabled and yet, it was set to vibrate every time, so that made it vibrate shortly after sending a text without any sort of notification. Hopefully that's the only reason for me.
random vibrations well
I've been noticing this too as of recent. While not in use, it tends to sit on my desk next to me. There is no set time, notification, or anything I can see triggering these vibrations. Really bugs the heck out of me.
Well I feel comfort in that I am not the only one it is happening to, and apparently the handcent thing didn't fix it, it just now vibrated for no reason. I'm completely stumped ugh.

I would backup all of your 3rd party apps, uninstall them, then see if it's still happening. Then if it's not doing it just restore one by one until you find the culprit.

Yeah its a good idea, but it would take ages to execute. Since the vibration happens randomly I would have to have the phone on my person at all times and if it happens just once in a day then I'd be restoring a single app at a time

What might be faster would be just to freeze the apps with TiBu, then it would only take a second to restore them. It might take a few days to track down, but it'll save you the hassle of having to deal with it long term

That's the culprit for me too. It's very very annoying. I have notifications turned off within outlook.com but it still vibrates when I get a new email. It must have been one of their updates that broke this because it never used to.

The solution to that would be to go into app info for outlook.com and disable all notifications.

Hmm, that is very strange. For me, if the vibration is disabled within the app, and all notifications are disabled app settings, then i get no more vibration. Did you try reinstalling outlook and or rebooting?
