Some people are never satisfied, first you wanted push.. now you want a better notification system.. Well you are right.. we need somthing that could tally up messages like we see with missed calls, voicemails and text messages

I'm just happy facebook is getting push. I don't care about the badges and alerts.

The iPhones notification system needs a complete overhaul, at the moment it's a completely disjointed mess. At the moment you get an alert and if miss it you've got know idea what it was for. And Ive lost track of the among of times the damn system has interupted me while I'm in the middle of something. Apple need to take a look at the pre and android os's if they want to see how it's done.

I don't want FB to push notifications to me. Sure, I could turn that feature off. I would like to see video support, which is supposedly being worked on.

The iPhone needs a "Push Feed", where you can select/deselect stories/feeds and filter.

I think there needs to be a "push history" app, or option in the settings, where you can scroll through all previous push notifications. It could be laid out by app, or by time - or customizable by the user.

It would be nice if for push notifications and text messages, when you get multiples, it should display the first one received and who sent it, then there should be a little 'next' arrow so you can scroll through them without unlocking your phone...and for long texts you should be able to scroll down to see the whole thing. For Facebook to be tolerable they better have really good fine tuning about what things you want to be notified of at all.

Good, i can finally turn off facebook text alerts when there's push.

The problem I have with the notifications is that I swipe so fast to unlock and poof! The notification is gone and I have no idea what it was. Maybe the badge could blink or something. Idk but it is frustrating.

Right now I have Prowler pushing growl alerts from the desktop Facebook Notifications client that receives alerts from facebook. Oh yes, quite convoluted, hilariously so, but it does actually work pretty well, if you don't want a badge or tap through alerts like the real deal will bring.

@Bill

I agree. While it's a nice start that FINALLY a free application has push notifications, my email alerts are sufficient enough for Facebook. Perhaps this will be a domino effect and other free applications will start offering push notifications. Doubt it, though.

What's the point of push notifications on Facebook anyhow? Do you REALLY want an alert every time a friend levels up in Mafia Wars, plays YoVille, or invites you to play Farkle? I mean really...

This will be nice. Hopefully it won't blow my phone up constantly or I'll have to go to badges only

For jailbreakers, GriP is the perfect application to deal with multiple push notifications. It was featured on this blog not long ago:

Like i said at Techcrunch, the global iphone notification system needs change. We need quick access to all notifications in one place. Popups in the middle of screen are stupid. Having to check app badges, and information app by app, in several screens, is an hassle. Sound only is not a solution.

So please Apple, make it happen, and before OS 4.0 (one year is too late)

Email Push is currently good enough for my Facebook notifications. But, I guess I'll use its real notifications when updated. No big deal... I mean, does anyone on Facebook really expect instant responses anyway?

Now I can get rid of Boxcar. I use Letmeknow for all my other notification.

I am pretty sure the big delay from before was on Hewitt's side. He announced it was 90% done, and then it was forever before it was submitted for review.

Soon will probably be a few weeks if Apple keeps up it's last pace
