This has been an issue that has plagued Windows Phone 7 as i previously had a Lumia 900. And it is still causing problems for Windows Phone 8.
I don't always get notifications and a lot of the time i get them hours and even days late. My friend sent me a message on Skype for WP8 2 days ago, this morning i got the 3 notifications. This also happens with Facebook for WP8 and WhatsApp for WP8. I don't know anymore if this is a problem with the apps themselves or maybe something with the notifications system on Microsoft side.
I know im not the only one as looking at the reviews in the app store most are 1 star for Facebook, Whatsapp, Skype, Twitter. Most complaints are about no or slow notifications.
Maybe an article can be made about this so this can catch Microsoft eye as i really regret with all my heart getting a WP8 device due to the stack of problems.
Even the apps are really poor, including Microsoft's own developed apps like Facebook, missing major basic features which have been available for many months in iOS and Android.
Maybe i should have listened to my friend and got an Android device in the end.
There doesn't seem to be a decent enough way to contact Microsoft about this so maybe either an article can be made so we can find out from other users or maybe someone here could contact Microsoft for me as i've waited 7 months for these issues to be fixed since my L900 and still no progress has been made with notifications and literally no progress with the apps.
You can do your part and let them know by posting on their facebook page so it catches their eye as there seems to be no proper way to let them know: https://www.facebook.com/#!/windowsphoneuk?fref=ts (Make sure you "like" the page first as the post doesn't always come up if you dont)
