Push Notifications Are Not Working

I'm currently using an iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3.3) and push notifications have stopped working. The only app that seems to still be pushing is TextPlus. In my case Facebook, Scrabble, Gowalla and Twitter have all stopped working.


Here is what I have already tried:

  1. Restored my iPhone
  2. General --> Reset --> Reset All Settings


None of these things worked. Are there any suggestions that will definitively help fix this issue? I'm at a loss.


Thanks

iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.2

OK - I have just changed the DNS settings to the google DNS servers as suggested by andres273 and I started to receive FB push notifications straight away. I am not going to get too excited just yet as I have heard that the notifications can start and then stop again, but these are the 1st notifications the app has sent in ages so is it a conicidence? I hope not. Thanks in advance :-)

Ok. My wife and I both have the iPhone 4 running the iOS 6.1.3. My wife's phone suddenly stopped notifying her when a text message would come in. Before, where she would get an audible tone letting her know she had a text message, now she would only receive the number of texts on the badge icon in the home screen. If, however, she had the text app open and received a text, the audible notification would work. I went online and found that many iPhone owners had similar issues. I checked everything from the Bluetooth to the Do Not Disturb setting with no result. While checking in the notifications tab under general settings, I noticed the "In Notifications Center" would not come up. Instead, it appeared as though it was trying to load, but was somehow stuck (I got the swirling circle next to the In Notifications Center heading at the bottom). I tried performing a hard reboot with no success. Finally, I went to General-->Reset-->Reset All Settings. This DOES NOT delete your apps or media. It only resets the settings. After resetting and allowing the phone to reboot, the problem was fixed. My wife was immediately able to receive audible text notifications. FYI, this problem only occurred with her phone. I have the same exact phone without having an issue. I cannot explain why the issue occurred or why it only affected her phone. I hope this helps.

Basically I couldn't receive my push notifications on my ipad until I went to:


facebook app>settngs>notifications>email notifications> and I ticked option: ALL NOTIFICATIONS, EXCEPT THE ONES YOU UNSUBSCRIBE FROM!


Then I could tick or untick any PUSH NOTIFICATIONS settings! And since then I had no issues with receiving push notifications.
