Basic Fixes
Fix 1: Check Birthday Notification Settings
If you are not getting birthday notifications on Facebook, you need to check the app’s notification settings on your Android or iPhone. Facebook now lets you control notifications of different categories like friend requests, comments, tags, birthdays, and more. Here’s how to check the same.

Fix 2: Check Blocked Accounts
If your Facebook birthday notifications are still not showing up, you should check if you have blocked some of your friends. In case things are fine between you and them, you can unblock them to receive their birthday notifications.
OpenFacebookapp >Settings & Privacy>Settings>Blocking>Unlockaccounts.
