Open System Preferences, select the Notifications preference pane at the top right, and disable it there.

If the above answer didn't work for you because Facebook was already disabled in System Preferences and you use Google Chrome, you may be mistaking Chrome's notifications as OS X notifications. You can disable Google Chrome Notifications by following the instructions here

  1. In the upper right corner of the browser window, click the Chrome menu.
  2. Click Settings > Show advanced settings.
  3. In the "Privacy" section, click Content settings.
  4. In the dialog that appears, go to "Notifications" and configure your desired settings

Option+Click the Notification Center menu bar icon, it will turn grey when disabled To re-enable Notifications, just option+click the menu bar icon again. It will turn black to signify that it’s active again.

If you’re less of a keyboard fan and more of a gestures person, you can also hush notifications directly from the panel itself.

For El-Capitan:

press Ctrl+Space, type "Notifications", choose "Facebook"

Just select the top-left icon "None" instead of "Banners" or "Alerts"
