As Facebook is made to enable people to communicate one anothere more closely, it launced many network and community features like groups. When a facebook group is created, group admins can add you to him/her group and all group activities, wall posts will be delivered to your facebook notification box. It’s very annoying to any facebook user even me. Because many groups on facebook get many group mambers and after I am added to that group, I frequently getting notification though they are not my subject. Also don’t forget to read how to stop any facebook application from automatically posting on you wall.
The problem is group admins can add their group without our confirmation. So if we feel that group very spammy we need to edit it’s notification setting to not get group updates in future.
How to Block Specific Groups from Sending you Notifications :
Step 1 : Go to Group’s page which disturbing you most. That group’s link can be found in your facebook’s notification box.
Step 2 : On the group’s page find out the button “Edit Settings“. Then do what I did and click save.
Now you are done. In further you will no more get spammy notifications from this facebook group.

Thanx mate...
I was pissed off wid d groups notifications...
Ur suggestn really helpd
I've est myself to the above settings, but my notifications area is still being flooded with updates from groups. This is driving me nuts! :-(
Why Kevin, I should work. This the setting Facebook gave for you. Look at Vicky above! He could solve his problem. Try again. Check what setting you made.
The settings are exactly as you suggested. In fact, I set them to these same settings last week before I read this article. This suggestion is not working.
Did you selected "Only posts i'm subscribed to" ?
Did I not state that I used the EXACT settings you suggested?
I did exactly what you did to stop those stupid notifications...and still..every 5 seconds,another damn notification!!!
Hello Amanda, this is for specific group notification setting. You may be getting updates from other groups. Check which groups are sending you msg. Change their setting or completely leave that group.
Hay guys, take reverse, u get notification in either u r gmail,or yahoo or other,make reply all to it, in cc u find group address like...u r groupname@groups.facebook.com,copy this id,then go facebook-settings-privacy-block email id or group-, paste this email id here and then chk after 1 hr u r email acc, u see notifications are stop
I tried all this, unsubscribed and I even LEFT the group and the posts are STILL showing up in my news feed, how do I stop this??
on the actual news feed click on the down arrow in the top right corner of the post, then select hide all from this group/person. it won't appear in your feed ever again.
i try the setting that you suggested
yes. a post from members or friends do not appear in my notification. but after i post something in that group, then when someone comment, then it appear in my notification. if 100 people comments, 100 notification will appear on the bottom left. it's keep flooding.
it's same if i comment from someone status in that group.
the notifications very annoying me
An outstanding share! I have just forwarded this onto a colleague who
was conducting a little research on this. And he in fact bought me
breakfast simply because I found it for him... lol. So allow me to reword this.

Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Taking the time and actual effort to make a great article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and never manage to get anything done.
