I am having problems with the Facebook notifications. I can not receive any of them. Its the ROM issue, because my wife can receive notifications and her phone is not even rooted. Anyone having the same problem or know how to troubleshoot?

Its not a rom issue...if you've never signed into Facebook on a blackberry, notifications will not work! Sign onto a blackberry and you will start getting them on your android...idk why it works but it does

I just downloaded FB for the hell of it - have you gone into facebook > settings and checked "Notifications' active, then down to 'Notification ringtone' and set a tone? It was defaulted to 'Silent' on my phone.
Yeah all those are good. I just can't get the notifications on the status bar

@nativesmiley: Facebook push notifications will work where they show in status bar.
Here is what I did that eventually got it working -
Logged into FB on computer - In 'Account Settings' > 'Mobile Settings' - I activated my phone number.
In FB app on phone - went to Settings > 'Refresh interval' - Set it to 'Never' and Notifications set to 'Active'.
Clicked the three bars in top left corner, scrolled down to the bottom, click 'Account'. Then 'Account settings'. Then 'Security'. Enabled 'Email Login Notifications'.
You should compare these settings to your wife's phone.
I am also on Valhalla Black.

So I've been running noLED on my Nexus S for a while now and just decided to add the app SMS Popup. The problem is that when my phone is sleeping and I get a text I no longer get the notification icon from noLED only, I also get the message pop up and the buttons on it (reply and close) stay active.
I wish that when my phone was sleeping and I got a text I only got the "notification light" from noLED and once I unlocked the screen I'd see the SMS pop up. Does anyone know of a way to reach that? Maybe another app would behave accordingly? Thanks
Under the miscellaneous setting in noled check the option to delay SMS notifications. Works great for me.
That said the pop-up won't be there when the phone is unlocked. Just for the I initial screen on.

Thanks for the tip but that doesn't really help me achieve what I want.
Maybe I could try another SMS program? (Handcent, etc) Opinions/experiences would be great.
I don't think the app matters. The way I understand it is noled will "dismiss " any popup occupying the screen in order to work.
Let me know if you find something though as its an option I'd love to have myself.

Tried Handcent, Chomp, tried even using Widget Locker and it was a no go.

So here's the story, I loaned my friend my phone the other day so he could check his fb account using the regular fb app. He was asking me how to check his notifications and showed me the phone, and when i got the phone I saw that there was an icon like a sign post in the notification bar, so I pulled it down and lo and behold there was a notification for someone commenting on his status a minute ago. I was checking it out and they were PUSH notifications! I thought Facebook had silently updated itself, so when i got my phone back I immediately logged into my account and updated my status to something interesting, but no push notifications even though people were updating. Has anyone else been able to enable push notifications using just the default app?

Mine does it. Have you tried logging out, uninstalling fb completely, downloading a fresh copy... Reinstalling?
Also check your accounts and settings to make sure fb is set up for autosync... May be worth a try...

That works with getting messages, but my friend was getting actual push notifications for every notification he received right as it happened.

Not really cuz I have the phone set to check every hour, yet even when the phone was locked he was getting notifications for everything right as they happened. Seriously this is my second android phone and that's the first time I've ever seen Facebook do that.

I get push notifications right as they happen. All day long. Has been like this since day one. I'm pretty sire its the Facebook for HTC Sense that's doing it. Not the actual Facebook app. Try logging out of your Facebook for HTC Sense account in your settings then logging back in. Like I said, this has been working for me since day one on the stock rom. And still works on every rom I have used since.

An update for anyone still wanting to get push notifications: I was able to enable them in my phone, but i had to suck up my pride first and log into fb using the IPHONE app. Once you log in you'll get a pop up asking if you want to enable push notifications. Select yes and log out and go back to your sweet beautiful android phone and you will have push the notifications enabled!

grrr! i just tried this with my wifes iphone, but no pop up about the push notifications. frustrating
Hi all,
I've been a member for a while, but this is my first post in a while.
I recently changed my Motorola Atrix to a Samsung Skyrocket. I love the phone, however I am having a little problem. The Skyrocket will not make noise or vibrate for notifications (such as text, or email, facebook, twitter, etc) but will play ringtone for phonecalls. When I restart the phone, it will work maybe for a day, but after that, it stops working again. Sometimes after receiving a call the notifications will start working again. I've checked the volume settings, and the notifications and ringtone settings, and everything like that... it's all normal. Any suggestions? I've been searching in the forums, and other sites as well, but dont seem to find anything.
The phone is rooted, but that's about it, stock rom. I also did a master reset on the phone as well.
I was using go sms but deleted it and the notifications still go silent.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks!
Hopefully someone here can help ya. I still have not found a solution
Ome thing I never really thought of was trying an Odin restore back to stock...a full clean slate. If that doesn't fix it then definitely a defective phone

That's what I did this morning. So far it's working perfectly, hopefully it will keep working.
Thanks for the reply!
I installed Go SMS again and seems to be working. What I did notice this time around, is that when I was setting up the notifications for the Facebook app, I noticed the option to choose from the Android System ringtones or from Go SMS. Maybe I had it set up to choose ringtones from Go SMS. Seems to be working fine now.
The notification volume and incoming call volume are seperated. The notification sometimes changes somehow idk how. If you want the incoming and notification to be the same download MySettings. The open the app up and click and hold the ringer icon then itll come up with volume settings. Check the box that says use incoming and notification sound together

Have you installed the facebook app and logged in?
Check if your wifi/data is turned on, you are not getting any notification if you are not online.
Go to facebook app and press menu->settings, check if notifications is active.
If still not getting notifications. Go to system settings -> accounts & sunc settings. Check if background data and auto-sync is on.
Thanks for help harry but they are both checked.....:-(

I just downloaded the new version of the Friendcaster app with the ICS theme, enabled the Push C2DM notifications, said "yes this is awesome", and went about my business. Next time I opened up Friendcaster, I all of a sudden I got a notification and popup with a couple of FB notifications that happened a long time ago. This is annoying. I want to get the notification and the popup when I'm not currently in the app, not just when I go into that app. In other words, the "push" notifications are not pushing. Any suggestions? (I'd prefer not to go with the Gmail method for notifitcations, but I will if I have to until this gets fixed.)

I think it would be better to send the dev an email, because push notification is working perfectly for me.

I know this is an old thread but did you get it to work? I'm having the same problem..
Unfortunately I never did. Just stuck with the gmail notifications, but I haven't tried the push notifications in a while now.
