I recently implemented the Facebook social plugin for comments on my blog. I assumed, incorrectly, that I would get a Facebook notification when someone posts a comment to one of my articles. I was wondering if that is a possibility.
I have read references to the use of a event.subscribe function in the javascript SDK, but I wasn't really interested in creating a javascript-based notification dingus but would rather just see the little badge in my Facebook notification window.
I'd love any insight on how others have addressed this.
Thanks in advance!

You won't get notified when someone replies to a comment. Go to the post that you'd like to turn notifications on or off. Tap then tap More and select Turn on notifications for this post or Turn off notifications for this post. The person who posted won't be notified that you turned notifications on or off.
Launch your Facebook app and navigate to Menu -> Settings -> Notifications. In the Notification settings, scroll down and tap the Push menu. Enable it. Ensure that Facebook can send notifications for comments, friend requests, tags, likes, etc.
Most Facebook notifications tend to be a result of your own interactions with the site. You get notifications because you comment on posts, join groups or follow pages. The less you do of these things, the fewer notifications you'll receive.
The comments plugin lets people comment on content on your site using their Facebook account. People can choose to share their comment activity with their friends (and friends of their friends) on Facebook as well. The comments plugin also includes built-in moderation tools.
Just add yourself as moderator under Facebook developers comments tool. That's it. You'll start getting notifications of any comments on any of your blog posts.

Lengthier way:
You must be getting notifications now.

For those who have been struggling to find a way to get notified when someone sends a comment on your page, here's a (sort of) solution.
Assuming you've created an app for your website, add the following meta tag to your <head>: <meta property="fb:app_id" content="YOUR_APP_ID_HERE" />
Then in Facebook Moderation Tool choose your app and click on Settings in top right corner. In settings, choose Moderation rules tab and at the bottom, you'll find an option Closed under Moderation heading. Select this option. By setting Closed option you basically have to approve all comments that are added to your site, but right now that's the only option how to get notified right in your Facebook without setting up custom listeners on comment.create event. That's also why this solution is sort of solution.
Also don't forget to add yourself as a moderator as Saurabh's answer suggests (otherwise you won't get any notification in your facebook).
