Log in to Facebook click the dropdown arrow in the top right and select Settings.
Next, select Notifications from the sidebar. You can also just go directly there by clicking this link.
Under Notifications Settings, you’ll see four options—On Facebook, Email Address, Mobile, and Text Message—as well as a summary of the kind of notifications you receive through each.
To change which notifications you receive through each channel, click Edit. Each menu has a different range of options. Let’s start with On Facebook.
Here you control what notifications appear in the Notifications Menu when you log in to Facebook. You can also turn off sounds if you don’t want Facebook beeping at you whenever someone likes your photo.
Next up, we'll look at the options under Email Address.
Managing your Facebook notifications on an iOS device is actually a little tricky, as various features are spread in different locations. If you want to turn off all push notifications, the simplest thing to do is go to Settings > Notifications > Facebook and turn off Allow Notifications.
To manage your Notifications with a bit more nuance, open the Facebook app and head to Settings > Account Settings > Notifications.
There are two groups of options here: How You Get Notifications and What Notifications You Get.
How You Get Notifications controls how notifications are sent to you. The controls here are less granular than through the website, so if you want to customize what notifications you see on Facebook or what emails you get, it’s better to do it there.
To control what push notifications you get on your iPhone, tap Mobile. Here you can change whether Facebook push notifications play a sound and turn on any category of push notification you’ve turned off.

Open the Facebook app and head to Notification Settings.
Facebook's Android app actually has the best notification management settings. Select the activity you do or don’t want to be notified about, such as Activity About You or Friend Requests, and then use the three toggles—Push, Email, and SMS—to decide what way you want to be notified. If you turn all three off, you’ll only be notified in the app.
You can also turn off push notifications entirely by selecting Push under Where You Receive Notifications and turning on Do Not Disturb.
Like with iOS devices, you can also turn specific notifications off from the Notifications Menu on Android.
