I have had this issue on a couple Android devices. It is the app permissions themselves as Facebook and Android have been not playing very well together as companies. There is a work around that worked very well for me and may be a reason some have no issues.
As mentioned by one of the posters above, they came from a very stable Facebook experience on Blackberry. Once you sign in to the app from a Blackberry device, you give permission to the app needed to get push notifications. (Sidenote: Facebook for Blackberry stays as an 'app' in your list when you access from the full website, while Android doesn't seem to have this function set up).
If you can find a friend or relative with a BB, just sign in to the app from their device, allow the permissions and save. You can sign out and let your volunteer go about their business. After that you should get notification bar information (until you go to the full website and delete the app or cancel the permissions).
Cheers and enjoy!
