can't get notifications with facebook

[landry314]

raven doesn't send a notification when i get a new facebook message. it is set properly in the settings. i think this feature just isnt fixed yet since facebook changed their protocol.

i am using raven 16.01.30.1 on cyanogenmod 11.

I've disabled this option in a previous version because it didn't work properly on devices running 5.0 or above. I'll look into this issue in the next couple days.

awesome. i look forward to raven being able to give me notifications for facebook. i don't trust the facebook messenger but i would like to know when i get a message so i can use the browser for facebook.

I haven't forgotten about it, I just had no time to look into it yet. And Google also keeps me busy by falsely removing one of my other apps, so I have to fix that first...

this FOS app right here has solved the notification problem:

https://github.com/gsurrel/FacebookNotifications

i suggest you dig through their code and find out how they did it!

it is exactly what i need... i'm happy that facebook's monopoly on their notifications is over.

So...
I just reuploaded the entire app because of some problems with google play. Here's the new link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbapps.raven
It should be available in 1-2 hours, I just uploaded it 5 mins ago.
I re-enabled the facebook notifications for messages but I didn't change anything from previous versions or tested it extensively. The notification do work as they already worked before, the only reason I disabled them is that above Android 5.0 it may not show all incoming notifications. I expect this to be worse on Android 6.0 with its new doze features. In theory this could be easily fixed since the service was awfully written by me years ago. But everytime I want to get to work on it I quickly lose interest because of this nightmarish code...
Well I do hope it works for you (don't forget to enable fb notification in the settings). If not let me know, maybe this helps me motivate me through the process.
