Does Google Calendar Notifications Ever Work?

A

AC Question

I have imported Birthday calendar from Facebook to Google Calendar a few days back. It was a webcal link which I added to the Google Calendar. The idea was get everyday notifications about Birthdays on my Android phone. Though the calendar was visible in the Google Calendar app, no matter how many times I tried, notification for Birthday events never worked.
After some investigation, I thought may be the issue is with adding Facebook calendar as a webcal link. So, I converted the Webcal link to ics file and imported all the calendar items into my primary/default Google Calendar. All the calendar items were successfully imported. Even then the notifications are not working I have spent a lot of time today trying to figure this one out. So far, I have been unsuccessful. Can anyone please help?

Few things to note -

1) I did turn on the "Notify on this device" option in the Calendar settings
2) I did select the correct calendar before setting up notifications
3) I also tried it on other devices like Nexus 6p, but no success
4) Adding reminders manually to every Birthday does work. What is not working is the default reminder for all Birthdays. Am I doing anything wrong?
