I would only like particular applications to show notifications when I'm not on Wifi and those would be:

  • Google Services - unfortunately there are several syncs here but AFAIK we can't control individual ones
  • Google Search - I'm not sure what this one does but I suppose I want to keep this one up
  • GMail - for obvious reasons

But all of the others I would like to disable. Including Facebook.

The problem I'm having is that Facebook notifications are still being displayed on my phone. What am I missing?

Did you have turned off "Accounts and Sync" from "Settings -> Accounts" ? – yrajabi Sep 10 '12 at 12:35
@yrajabi: Facebook account doesn't have such setting. – Robert Koritnik Sep 10 '12 at 14:07
It has been known that some apps ignore the "Restrict background data" setting. However, I have this setting turned on for only the facebook app on my SGS2 with ICS and I never get any notifications. – THelper Sep 21 '12 at 12:06
