Of course not, but it's a possibility.

Each manufacturer adapts the Android it offers to its own requirements. 
  Why should there not be something in Motorola's configuration of 
Android that somehow precludes killing facebook notifications?

Given the nature of facebook, complaining about something like this is 
the equivalent of pounding sand down a rathole.

There are quite a few apps that insist on starting up each time the 
phone is turned on, but many of them honor my 'no notifications' 
selection.  It probably IS facebook's fault, but I'm hoping that 
somebody might have found a solution to the problem.

More sand-pounding, apparently.
