Facebook is rolling out a new notification tab

This server side change was out on Tuesday. When you get the new notification tab on your Android device, you'll see events from friends (eg. birthdays), sports scores for teams you follow, and events you've added to your calendar. With location services enabled, you'll also have local events, movie times, and other nearby info. Your notification settings won't change in the update, which should arrive on your device without a full app update. The new notifications are also coming to users in the US right now with no specifics on international support. If there's too much stuff in there after the update, you can customize by tapping the drop down arrow on each card.
