I keep getting notifications in the notification bar from facebook (apparently) telling me when people have birthdays. I can't figure out why I am getting these. I have disabled notifications from the facebook app. I am not syncing facebook contacts with my phone. To the best of my knowledge, these things shouldn't be showing up, but they are.
Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone have a solution to make them stop? (Other than the obvious solution of deleting the facebook app?)
I've searched and have not found any solutions. I'm starting to wonder if this is just one of those "have to live with it" things. Grumble.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. As best I can tell, even when you turn off all notifications from within the facebook app [ Facebook --> Settings --> Notifications ], the current version will ignore the setting in the case of birthday notifications.
The only solution that worked for me was to turn off all notifications for this app through the Android app manager itself [ Settings --> Apps --> Facebook --> Show notifications ]. But that worked like a charm.

It appears that maylouwho12 has found the correct setting buried in the facebook account settings. See reply #12 in this thread for details. Thank you, marylouwho12!
