Not getting notifications for Facebook - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I've tried everything from deleting app data to a factory reset.
I am still not getting any notifications for Facebook. The only type of notifications I am getting is the Icon Badge.
Yes I have notifications turned on for Facebook.

Mine work but the only widget is missing

My S7E seems to be automatically clearing my Facebook notifications (plus some other notifications too). I have no idea why it is doing this.

How do you know it's doing this? Can you see the notifications pop up for a split second?

Well first I kept hearing my notification sound and when checking had no notifications. But then while using the phone I noticed notifications pop up for a second and instantly dissapear.
This phone seems to have a mind of it's own as some of my settings are turning themselves on and off.

It's definitely something odd going on.
When you responded to this post, I got the Tapatalk notification instantly however my Gmail isn't updating on it's own all of the time which means the push notifications don't come across. I have to do a manual refresh in the Gmail app. With Facebook, I am getting the badge icon instantly but I am getting no sound or banner notifications with the phone on or at idle.

I normally don't use the app. I'm not a big FB fan but the app is working fine for me. I only use FB for a few mobile games. But I'm getting notifications without any issues.

I seem to have fixed my Facebook notifications or at least I think I did. So far it has worked with a few test posts I made.
For some reason, I think this has to do with migrating to the iPhone and then switching back.
Anyhow, I downloaded and synced Facebook with my old Nexus 7 that we keep around to keep our 3 year old daughter entertained with when we go to restaurants.
What happened is kind of strange. I started getting notifications on my S7 instantly but now I am not getting the notifications on the Nexus 7. Anyone else find this odd?

i have kinda the same thing. it give me notifications but only on the app widget. it shows the number of notifications but not a notification in the bar on top. i have to keep the facebook app on my main screen so when i turn it on it shows if i have any notifications in the app. it has bugged me like crazy.

I don't even have the option to put the Facebook widget on my homescreen. Where did you find the widget?
Also, it sounds like you are having the same issues I was. I had the facebook icon sitting on my home screen and it would show the icon badge for how many notifications I had but I wasn't getting the notification banners at the top.
I don't understand how syncing Facebook with a old Nexus 7 cleared this issue up but so far the notifications on my S7 seem to be working.

I've had no push notifications for about a year and a half on my HTC One M7, and still the same issue now on the S7 Edge, however I do get the widget notifications at least. I have checked all my Facebook settings and all notifications are enabled. Dont know why I just stopped getting push notification. Wonder if its something on my Facebook account.

I am not getting any Facebook notifications either. I migrated from an iPhone 6S and I'm wondering if that has something to do with it.
Not sure how I would go about fixing it though.

I have never owned an iPhone so it's not that for me

That's what I am thinking. Do you have another device laying around like a tablet or another phone? If so, try loading your Facebook account on it. If you don't then maybe you could try a friends phone.

I have a backup Galaxy S5 that I could try it on. I'll see if I have some time this week to experiment.

Might be worth logging into your Facebook on the desktop version and going into settings, Notifications, Mobile and seeing if something has been disabled in here.
I wasn't getting Facebook notifications on the Messenger app, just the badge and icon. Took me ages to finally find out that somehow that at option was disabled when I logged into the app on my S7. Not done this on any other phone.

Not sure what happened but I'm getting notifications now.

Yea. Mine have been off and on since yesterday. Actually, all of my notifications have been off and on since I got the phone on Saturday.
Samsung needs to fix these bugs......Fast

Facebook Notifications Alert On Home Screen?

Just switched back to windows mobile from android when the HD2 came out. One of my biggest issues is the fact that I do not receive notifications for messages/alerts from fb on my home or notifications screen. You have to go into the FB app and refresh to see anything new. Does anyone know of an app/solution. The SMS notifications don't work quite well.
I know what you are talking about with the notifications pooping up at the top. I know that my Mom, Wife, and sister all have Android Devices and they all hate that feature. I don't know of a way to get that, however there is the Facebook Tab you could install that could eliminate one step and you just slide to the Facebook Tab and hit refresh.

Could try that. leave it running in the backrground and you get a pop up notifaction whenever you get a new comment or message. I used it for a while but i got rid of my Facebook cause its a pain in the ass!
You can setup Facebook (the site, not anything related to your phone) to send you e-mails for your notifications...
...which would ostensibly come to your phone...
use FIM. It runs in the background and delivers a WM notification if there is an update on FB.
I was actually coming on here to post that. I came across the app and it's amazing. Does everything I need. Notifcations, Chat, etc. Thanks Guys!

[Q] Notifications not working

Not sure if this is the right thread, but my notifications seem to have stopped working, Gmail no longer pushes, I'm not getting Twitter or Facebook notifications, last google failed to sync so had to do a manual sync. My internet works fine and the Signal bars are blue. Is there anyway to do a reset on the notifications to get them working again without doing a Factory reset?

I ended up doing a factory reset as uninstalling the app didn't help, notifications are working again, have you checked in the facebook settings that sound notifications are turned on?

Are you guys using the Vonage app on your phones? I've got the exact same issue and came across this post from clockcycle:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106454&highlight=sound
I uninstalled Vonage and my notifications started working again immediately. I'm hoping there's some kind of fix for this though I use the Vonage app a lot and don't want to have to constantly uninstall/reinstall it to make calls.

Late or Missing Notifications (S7 edge)

Is anybody with the S7 or S7 edge on Sprint having problems with various apps delivering push notifications late or not at all? I've noticed this specifically with apps like CNN and Reuters but also with a neighborhood app called "Nextdoor" that I use. I will get a notification about a message 10-15 minutes after I already received and checked it on the web version on my computer. I came from an S5 and never had anything like this before. Is this perhaps the power saving feature that suppresses background app activity? I would think it wouldn't do that for apps I very frequently use. No issues with text messaging notifications or anything directly related to the carrier.
Also - these have all been while on WiFi vs mobile data. It's really the only negative thing I've found so far. I am getting great battery life and standby drain.
Thanks!
I've noticed this only very rarely. For the most part push notifications come through instantly for me.
I think it has something to do with power saving feature, when enabled.
I was missing my Gmail notifications.

It's happening really frequently for me. I will have to try adjusting my power saving functions.

Happening with a lot of apps for me - but mainly FB Messenger and Gmail. With FB Messenger the orange notification number on the app itself will display but I never get a sound/vibrate or notification bar notification. With Gmail it's like my email is not syncing but once every few hours instead of pushing notifications (my notification settings are fine).
I will have to try to mess around with the power saving function.
Having the same issue S7. No notifications from WhatsApp, FB messenger etc. It seems like when the screen goes off it also turns internet off as each time I open the FB messenger it displays a message that it's connecting... not sure how to go from here :/ tried application manager options already
Yep, quite a few apps for me are affected. Using the stock settings for power settings, but I guess I'll have to play around to find which setting is causing this.
I checked and I have all power saving options disabled, so that can't be it...
If I have Power Saving on I miss all notifications until I open the specific app. Samsung changed it, hate it now I have to use my phone without Power Saving!

I have power saving turned off, but still have this problem.

Always On display does not show email icon?? using stock email client

I get the text message icons and missed calls but always just assumed it didn't currently support email. Now I am doubtful after seeing it mentioned. What could possibly be causing mine to not show email icons?
Mine stopped showing me any notifications at all, so I just turned it off.
Really? Damn. I keep hoping to see some update released for Aod to fix it or introduce 3rd party Support but oh well. I might just turn mine off too..

Whatsapp notifications not expanding

So, whenever i get more than one message from the same person on whatsapp i can just see the last message. I tried expanding that notification bubble but it doesnt.. so if I have to read all the messages I will have to open the app.
Is anybody else facing the same issues with Whatsapp? I checked with other messaging apps (FB messenger, Hike, Text messages); all have expanding notifications bubble displaying all messages after I expand the bubble except Whatsapp.
I am not sure if this is a Nougat thing or just V20.
Any way to change this?
My notifications are not showing at all on Whatsapp. I have to open it and go to the person or group and they suddenly pop up.
I've turned on notifications from the settings on the phone and in the app itself, still nothing.
Whatsapp say its the phone the phone people say it whatsapp......the usual customer no-service. It's obviously an issue.
I hate change, nothing ever works the same, never mind better.

All of us, is the sh*t of Whatsapp app, they know that they have this issue solved at Facebook messenger , but not yet on WHatsapp
