I have had this same problem for over a year now, they wouldn't work on my iPhone iPad android phones or tablets. It has nothing to do with resetting anything, clearing caches, reinstalling or restoring. There is an app that you have connected to your Facebook which has blocked your notifications.

Head into your Facebook app and click on account settings, click on the apps button and turn all platforms off. Close the app in your multitask by double clicking your home button and closing the app from there. Get someone send you a test and bam.... Notifications :) I never thought I would see a Facebook notifications ever again! Head back into your settings and turn platforms back on. Your apps will be gone but I'm sure you can reconnect them when you use them again.

But now you can't share to Facebook (from Instagram, vine, etc) correct?
 
This worked for me too nice find OP and thanks for sharing.

Although you turn it off you turn it back on so you can re-add all apps back to your fb account so no biggie really you will just get prompted by some apps again to get Facebook permissions.

All good! I can't believe I found it either! I had been checking forums for over a year then I came across it and bam!! I have posted it on a new thread in mac rumours and on apple community for everyone to find hopefully

Yeah you just use the apps again and reconnect and you have everything there again. I logged in to my Cydia and all my paid apps were back in there!! Lucky :)

Did this work for everyone? I've tried the above with huge excitement, but I'm still not getting push notifications. I've compared my Account Settings with a friend's, and my Settings > Privacy Shortcuts > More Settings > Notifications look different from his (in fact, his was called Mobile Notifications).

Any ideas? I'm hoping I'm not the only one.
