Unless Samsung rolled out some custom shit, these notifications come from another app. "Disable" on a clean Android uninstalls all updates and disables an app package, preventing it from running.

I noticed you can no longer uninstall Facebook apps from Samsung phones, only disable. Figured I would give 'disable' a try and see what it means.
