Turn off Facebook Push Notifications on Android

Hi Experts,

The telco I'm using (Globe in the Philippines), gives free Facebook access, but I read somewhere that to avoid unwanted data charges, I should turn off "push notifications".

The phone is a Samsung Galaxy GT-S5660 and it is running Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread).

Q1. What are push notifications?
Q2. How can I disable them?
Q3. Any other tips to get this working well?

I've briefly Googled the the above but haven't found anything very helpful yet.

Thanks.

Thanks guys.  Sorry for the delay in responding.
I must get back to you when I have a better internet connection (could be a few weeks).  Can't even follow the link at present.

BTW: I've recently re-checked and saw that the instructions from the telco were to put push notifications into "manual" mode (or words to that effect).  Not to "disable" them as I previously suggested.  Probably much the same thing though.  If that changes your answers, pls let me know.
Hi Tel2,

For manual mode just go to setting your facebook app but do not uncheck show notification iption. Your work will be done.
