For awhile, my Facebook push notifications were working just fine until I had updated to Jelly Bean. I tried everything.. to clearing cache, data, uninstalling, and even the BlackBerry trick again (worked once before) and couldn't for the life of me figure out why they weren't working anymore. I thought maybe it was Facebook clashing with JB. I read everywhere and found out some people had no issues and some had some where every push notifications didn't work and some just Facebook.
Well I spend a day or so trying to figure it out and finally found a new, simple fix.
1) Open the Facebook app.
2) Tap on menu button on the top left
3) Account > Account Settings
4) Apps and Websites
5) Clear out Facebook related apps (Like Friendcaster or HTC Sense)
6) Clear data on the Facebook app and launch app
I noticed some off the apps in there have a push notification toggle button and I believe it was messing up the push notification system of there was to many to keep up with.
Once I spent 20 mins clearing those apps out, I cleared data and started the app notifications started working again. I didn't know it worked until someone wrote on my wall and I was shocked to see a notification!
I really hope this helps some of you out who have gave up looking for another fix.
If you're still not getting notifications, I'm sorry =(

Facebook, Twitter, Google+, push notifications aren't working in any of these apps. So annoying. I even tried re-installing the ROM and apps, but to no avail

Clear all those apps in that Facebook apps list.

Yeah, done that. Doesn't help
Sounds like all your notifications are broke. This is a fix just for Facebook while others are working.

After a whole day of looking around, here's the solution: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120318142032AA1GpzE (quote below). As a step-by-step:
1. log out of your Android Facebook app
2. clear app data
3. go to facebook on a PC and then account settings → security settings → active sessions and end all of them. (not sure if that's necessary, but it wouldn't hurt)
4. Log out
5. Now log in on the Android app and enjoy push notifications.
If you are logged into Facebook on a computer or other device, then your android phone won't sync, one way is to hit the social network widget and tap view all updates, then click on the refresh button, that is what I have to do to fix mine if I am logged into the computer, or you can just log out of facebook when you are wanting to use the phone.
This was caused by the latest update from Facebook's Mobile App, and unfortunately it affects not only facebook, but also twitter on the social network widget.

I have just tried this, along with uninstalling Facebook, Facebook Messenger, and Friendcaster. They used to work perfectly. Now, they don't. I ess running the stock TouchWiz but now I'm on CM10. Could that be the problem? I will select the C2DM in Friendcaster, go through the process of entering my email and password, then nothing. It used to say that the registration was successful. Now it doesn't. I will then exit out of everything then go back in to check and the selection will be back to periodic polling.
it worked! Thank you very much!
Actually Solved
I have had this same problem for over a year now, they wouldn't work on my iPhone iPad android phones or tablets. It has nothing to do with resetting anything, clearing caches, reinstalling or restoring. There is an app that you have connected to your Facebook which has blocked your notifications.
Head into your Facebook app and click on account settings, click on the apps button and turn all platforms off. Close the app in your multitask by double clicking your home button and closing the app from there. Get someone send you a test and bam.... Notifications I never thought I would see a Facebook notifications ever again! Head back into your settings and turn platforms back on. Your apps will be gone but once you use an app and connect with Facebook everything will be there again. Worked with Cydia and all my paid apps were in my account again!
Hope this works for everyone to get their notifications back!!

If the problem is caused by an app, yes, it would. But for many that's not the root of the issue, so it's not correct to say it has nothing to do with… Anyway, thanks for contributing with a new solution.

No probs, but I have read through so many forums all having the Same problems and people always giving the same answers, restoring whole fone, getting new fone, updating software, clearing caches, reinstalling the app blah blah blah and the solution I have found fixed mine and many other devices, friends and other forums. So generally it's an app that they have connected to fb that has conflicted with notifications. Instead of going through 1 by one which I tried and everything else, turning off all then starting from scratch completely restored mine and brought it back to normal!

Hi
Found a solution that worked for me so thought I'd share here.
I was using FB 1.9.1 from an old Titanium Backup I kept on my Sgs1 and after setting up Zeam launcher and disabling some system and memory hogs like Google Play Svcs I thought I'd give the newer FB app a go.
Sure enough I stopped getting push notifications.
However rest of notifications on phone kept working, email, gtalk etc.
Then it occurred to me the push notification system might prefer to send notifications to the device rather than the account.
By which I mean every android device had an Android ID supposedly linked to the physical device itself.
I thought of this after noticing that whenever my phone should be popping up a notification that I just sent to mu account from another GB accpunt, namely a chat message, OS monitor would always show a peak of activity before relaxing again and nothing actually happening.
The rush was already happening when notifications were still working.
(I had previously used the newer fB app before and did get notifications to work.)
So i had a close look at Titanium Backup Account settings, and my Google Play store settings, and found out both were *not* using the *main* Google account my phone is linked to.
After which I set both G Mkt and Tit bkp to the right main Google account and immediately after, I updated FB app through G Market.
Hey presto, notifications came back!

I tried as you directed. Works perfect now!
cleared every app on the Facebook account I own. All notifications are working for the Facebook app.
I also used Push Notification fixer for root(there's a non root version too)

This Worked For Me
I am assuming that anyone with this problem has at one point rooted and installed Blackmart, AdBlock, AdAway or Freedom. If not this may not work for you.
I installed Root Commander then went into \System\etc and deleted the hosts file. Using lucky patcher I cleared dalvik cache and rebooted. Then I factory reset my phone and VOILA all push notifications are now working after nearly 4 months. I hope you get your phones working without having to flash your ROM.

I had the same problem, i could not receive the push notification on my nexus 4 and also on my ipad and i think i finally figured out how to correct that. took a minute. log in on a desktop browser check your email notifications: It needs to be at least "important notifications". After that you should be able to open the app and select what kind of push notifications to receive. i am sure that will not help everyone as there are different things that can block push notification but it's still something to look into.
For those of you who are facing problems with no notifications from Twitter upon receiving new tweets, mentions etc or if you can't change the Twitter notification settings :
1. Open Twitter from your browser on your PC.
2. Go to Settings > Apps
3. Revoke access for Twitter for Android.
4. Log out from Twitter on your phone and re-log again.
5. Voila, your notifications problem should be fixed now! You should be able to update your notifications settings now.
6. If the problem persists, try revoking all apps and repeat step 4 again.
Cheers,
Frappy.

Is it work?
This doesn't work with the Samsung S6. I am unable to change my Twitter notification tone, it just reverts back to the default notification.
There's a thread on Android forum with some people having the same problem but it doesn't seem to have been resolved, from what I can see. Anyone here know anything about it? I'm guessing it's a Twitter issue, as it works fine on other phones I've got.
I have latest FB app, turned on all notifications but I don't get any push notifications. Gmail and messenger notifications are working. I have nova Launcher Prime and missed it plugin installed. What could be a problem?
You rooted? If so, possible causes are Greenify or PowerNap.
Not rooted

may be the notifications are blocked, see in settings-> sound and notification-> application notification
Missed it plugin seemed to have problem with certain apps
Also, check if you're using STAMINA mode and if so, whitelist FB Messenger.

Having this EXACT problem and tried everything you did too. It's really bothering me, I have to open messenger every couple of hours just to find old messages that I should have replied to.
I noticed that when I launch it, there's a brief "no internet connection" message, but just like you I gave it unrestricted access, background permissions, and enabled wi-fi and mobile data to run while phone is locked. I have problems with WhatsApp too though, every time I open it it downloads a bunch of new messages.
Also I don't have Play Services. Installing it causes other apps to glitch out for me, it seems. Maybe this is my issue?
I am not facing any issue with whatsapp and wechat..
And my messenger is solved for now after contacting Honor team..
They asked me to give same access to Facebook app (i.e unrestricted access and background running) and it solved the problem...
You should try the same hopefully it will work for you
