A couple days ago, I started getting an insane number of duplicate Facebook notifications in the Notification Center. Specifically, 24 copies every single time there's a "You received a new message".
Has anybody ever seen this? I've looked around & the only thing I've been able to find is people having issues with duplicate email notifications, but this is very different.
iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12)
I know this is old, but I have just spent an hour on the phone with Apple investigating this. I would get 22 duplicates for PMs and 5 for regular FB updates.
Try this:
Launch Activity monitor >> Go to the memory tab >> find the notification centre process >>> kill it >> restart
Although the initial pop-up still says there are 22 notifications (a cache issue, I guess) there is only the one and no more notification centre spamming.

Ok, i finally found a simple fix for this.
1. disable all facebook related notification settings in system settings -> notifications.
2. remove your facebook account from system settings -> internet accounts.
3. remove all facebook related objects from your keychain and restart your mac.
now comes the magic 🙂
4. log on to facebook, you will be asked if you want to use this account for mac system integration, click on later.
5. in facebook go to settings -> security -> where you're logged in -> delete all old session, especially the ones under "Apple OS Integration".
6. clear safari cache and restart your mac.
7. log on to facebook, you will be asked if you want to use this account for mac system integration, this time click ok and check the notifications setting, if everything ok, restart your mac once again.
This worked for me, it seems facebook keeps old sessions still active, i had 67 active "Apple OS Integration"- Sessions and you will get a notification for every single one of them.
If you use iOS devices and cleared evrything under the "where you're logged in" tab, you have to put in your credentials on the devices again.
Unfortunately, I tried both of those thing & I'm still having the same problem.
I don't get the multiple notifications on my phone – it's only on my desktop.
I don't have Safari notifications enabled for any site, including Facebook.
I would try logging out of Facebook and then back in again.
If you use iOS Settings>Notifications>Facebook try toggling off "allow Notifications" and back on again.
Oh good, I'm not alone. I'm having the same issue. Every time a notification from Facebook comes in on macOS, it comes in 54 times. It's only Facebook, and it's only on macOS Sierra. Not happening on either my iPhone nor my iPad.
I've tried disabling/reenabling notifications, as well as removing Facebook from my Internet Accounts and readding it.
I'm gonna keep playing with things... if I find a solution, I'll report back in.
For what it's worth, I reported it as a bug & it was closed as a duplicate. So Apple is aware of it.
Still not any solution for this problem?
Thank you very much!
This did the magic and now the notifications works as it is supposed.
Great i could help, took me two fresh os installs to figure it out by my self 😀 It's a mostly facebook related issue.
