How do you turn off birthdays in notification center?

When I synced Facebook and my contacts, every single one of my friends birthdays were synced with my calendar. I turned off the birthday calendar in the app but they continue to spam my notification center EVERY DAY. Does anyone know how to stop this? If not could we request an update that let's us?

iPad 2, iOS 6

unfortunatly, you can't.


In iOS 6 (or in iOS 5 for matter of fact), birthdays are pulled DIRECTLY from your contacts app and then displayed in notification center, and not through the calendar app. So doing anything from Calendar app won't do anything.


The only solution, sadly, at this point, is to disable contact integration with Facebook if you have issues. Currently, there is no proper fix for this, and I'm afraid we won't be seeing any fix for while....
