About Notifications for Facebook

## This app is NOT endorsed by Facebook in any way. It will stop working if Facebook change something to their mobile website! ##

NOTE: I am working on a more reliable behavior for newest Android releases. In the meantime, notifications can be noticeably delayed.

Notifications for Facebook is small (0.1MB) app is for getting notified (friends, messages and notifications) from Facebook while being privacy and battery friendly. It does NOT require the Facebook Platform to be turned on. It checks periodically the mobile version of the website and creates an Android notification for any new message, friend request or general event. The notifications can be enabled or disabled per-category, with a custom sound for each.

The app and assets are free and open-source, check the app website using the link the "Developer" section at the bottom of this page.

It requires the following permissions:
INTERNET: for checking Facebook :)
VIBRATE: slight vibration for the notification
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: so it can run after a reboot
SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: used for running the update without interrupting the user

Brilliant app. At last I've got my notifications back. Notifications stopped working several weeks ago. I've been trying all sorts to get them back and Facebook have been no help whatsoever. But now thanks to this brilliant app I've got them back. I would give the developer 10 stars if I could. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

I can't thank you enough! I've been trying all these different methods to get back my push notifications on my Verizon Note 5 running 7.0. I use FB Lite and Messenger Lite. With Messenger Lite I would get push notifications but with FB Lite I wouldn't. Nothing has worked until now with your small app. Simply amazing! Kudos!

Perfect! I deleted Facebook from my phone but didn't want to miss any event invites, this app allows me to still receive them without needing the app or having to proactively check the facebook web page.

It's great! Just what I needed. If you get a chance, perhaps add the choice of opening any app (just to catch those of us using weird ones.)

Total life saver, you have made my day, around 6 weeks ago the official Facebook app stopped sending my phone notifications for new posts in groups I use for buying items, basically I need instant notification to jump on deals, so I found friendly for Facebook, that worked for around 5 weeks, then all the notifications stopped, I was feeling pretty down as my business revolves around buying in Facebook groups, BUT this app came to my rescue, Thank you and please please keep the app updated, it's a complete life saver, I can relax now and just wait for notifications to appear rather than checking my phone every 5 minutes.

Love it. Provides me with the notifications that my other app doesnt provide. Also has a nice simple access app built in. I like the host of options. Would like to see an option to turn off/on buy and sell group notifications. Like the lightweightedness of it.

Please don't change a thing with this app! It's perfect, it's like a basic Web version of Facebook, easy to use, easy to access messages and view friends online. App is perfect in every way. 5*

good tiny. fast launching & fast browsing on fb too. but to access news it takes long time on 2g. should offer an option to use my default browser eg opera mini or uc mini. want large font.

Does what it says on the tin. Very useful if you want a light, low-resource Facebook experience. It's Free Software and hosted on GitHub. The developer is responsive, and is attentive to the development of other "alternative" Facebook apps like Tinfoil.
