- Fantastic job on fixing this.
Downloaded the simulator last night and all sorted - Samsung Galaxy S2 (sim-free) stock.
Much better than polling for updates (which actually never worked properly for me anyway).09-22-2011 06:10 AMLike 0 - Umm, this isn't true. I came from a Blackberry, have Facebook for blackberry on my application list and have no push notifications. Nice try. How about we just change this thread to Facebook doesn't care about how push notifications have been broken since they were released and have done nothing to try and fix it leaving users to try and make up reasons as to why they don't work..
As a Reminder; make sure you have notifications turned on in privacy / account settings. You can either set notifications to be sent to your phone either by Emais or Text messages.09-24-2011 06:54 PMLike 0 - Facebook notifications worked perfect for me up until they rolled out the latest change in Facebook. Now I no longer get push notifications, and the BlackBerry trick no longer works. Has anyone figured this out yet?
Edit: Nevermind, got it working again! After I did all that with the BlackBerry, I just went and did a Clear Data from my Facebook app and set everything back up, and now push notifications are working again. No idea what happened...the2ndflood likes this.09-24-2011 08:59 PMLike 1 - Not sure if anyone else has noticed, but doing the trick I have gotten notifications I wasn't before, but when I select it and it takes me to the FB app, the item isn't listed in the notifications spot. So it appears it is notifying me of something new happening, but I can't get to the new info directly from the icon at the top of the device.09-26-2011 12:12 PMLike 0

- I've been sitting here for around 2 hours trying to get the various Blackberry simulators to work.
I'm going crazy over here.
Honestly, I don't even know if I've downloaded and installed the right Java packages, and I hate to think what I've done to my system by installing a bunch of nonsense just to get Facebook droid to work as it supposed to work.
Can anyone really break down this process? Treat me like a moron. I honestly feel completely lost here. I have a simulator up and working, but it won't connect to the internet. I then realized I needed a separate simulator for the network.. but it doesn't seem to be working. There seem to be 10,000 reasons why it won't work, and I honestly just feel like shooting myself in the face right now.
God, I'm troubleshooting a non-working java package necessary to get a network simulator working to get a blackberry simulator working to sign into Facebook, get Facebook for BB, and hope to God that this actually gets me push notifications on my brand new Galaxy S II. I'm really losing it here. Any help would be super appreciated!10-19-2011 10:37 PMLike 0 - Okay, first thing first... Did you read and follow exactly what the thread author wrote? The process is as simple as it's written. (No pun intended) All you need is a working blackberry phone (one that's connected to a network) -- Next, make sure you have the Facebook for Android application installed on your Android device. From the BB phone login to your facebook account. (Make sure that the BB phone has the facebook app installed on it). Wait until news feed loads up, then sign out of your account - that's it.
Open your Facebook app on your Android phone... go to settings - make sure theirs a check sign in the notification box. You should now start to receive "push notification" on your device. Also, make sure notification is enabled on your Facebook account. You can check that via PC full site.
Best of luck.10-21-2011 03:56 PMLike 0 -

I checked my FB account and the blackberry app is still there and appears to be fine.

You may also have to clear your data too (which would mean that you have to sign in again and do your initial setup since it's like a new install at that point). I can't remember which process fixed my problem when I had it happen to me once.11-08-2011 01:31 PMLike 0

- seems to happen after a while for me too. I just clear the FB apps data and cache and re log in and they'll start again.. annoying but still worth getting the notifications.. if only everyone would shift to G+ eh or.. at least FB get their act together and make their app work.

Mine was definitely server side because I even tried a different phone and rom (not for that reason, I just have a few so it is easy to test). I have had the data/cache help before but this was different. I was offering up what I did to correct mine since it was not rom or device related this time.

on the up side I can turn this into setup to say your solution is always best to try first. if toggling notifications off and on on the FB site doesn't work (which it usually does) then try the notifications off/on option in the app and clearing the cache. then as a last resort, clearing the app data. sorry for any confusion folks.bjn714 likes this.11-08-2011 05:34 PMLike 1 - I'm with you. I logged into the Facebook app on my little brother's BlackBerry, cleared the data in the Android app once, signed back in, & have gotten instant push notifications ever since.11-10-2011 09:34 PMLike 0
