okay, This is almost done, but is really rare, not everything works as it should.
First of all, this is not a pluggin, I am writing all these code in bp-functions.php in my bududdypress folder within my theme folder. (this may be my problem).
Step by step:
1st Problem setup globals is not working as it espected:

define( 'BP_NOTIFIER_CELBIRTHDAY_SLUG', 'celbirthday_notifier' );
function celbirthday_notifier_setup_globals () {
	global $bp, $wpdb;
	$bp = buddypress();
	
	$bp->celbirthday_notifier = new stdClass();
	$bp->celbirthday_notifier->id = 'celbirthday_notifier'; //I asume others are not going to use this is
	$bp->celbirthday_notifier->slug = BP_NOTIFIER_CELBIRTHDAY_SLUG;
	$bp->celbirthday_notifier->notification_callback = 'celbirthday_notifier_format_notifications'; //show the notification
	
	$bp->active_components[$bp->celbirthday_notifier->id] = $bp->celbirthday_notifier->id;

	do_action( 'bp_setup_globals' );
}

This function is not doing nothing unless I call it directly:
celbirthday_notifier_setup_globals ();
I Know this is not the proper way, but it is the only way I found to make it run.
Does anyone know why it does not work properly?

Continue with the notification:

//Format notifications
function celbirthday_notifier_format_notifications( $action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items, $format = 'string' ) {
 if ( 'new_birthday' === $action ) {
	if ( (int) $total_items > 1 ) {
	      
	    if ( 'string' === $format ) {
			$famoso_name =  get_the_title( $secondary_item_id );
			return apply_filters( 'celebrities_multiple_verifications_notification','Say Happybirthday to '.$famoso_name);	  
		  }
      } else {	 
      if ( 'string' === $format ) {  //falta definir $famoso_link y mas 
	   $famoso_name =  get_the_title( $secondary_item_id );
	  	return apply_filters( 'celebrities_single_verifications_notification','Say Happybirthday to '.$famoso_name);
         // $return = apply_filters( $filter, '<a href="' . esc_url( $famoso_link ) . '" title="birthday anounce">' . esc_html( $text ) . '</a>', (int) $total_items, $text, $famoso_link );
		// $message = apply_filters( 'bp_activity_at_message_notification_message', $message, $poster_name, $content, $message_link, $settings_link );

	} } }
 do_action( 'celbirthday_notifier_format_notifications', $action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items ); 
return false; }

ok, this format function is working right, although I have to do some more work. After it, I have two more functions (mark and delete notifications) wich are also working fine.

//mark notification
function celebrities_mark_screen_notifications() {
	global $bp;
	
	bp_notifications_mark_notifications_by_item_id( $bp->loggedin_user->id, $bp->celbirthday_notifier->id, 'new_birthday', $secondary_item_id = false, $is_new='0');
}
add_action( 'bp_notifications_screen', 'celebrities_mark_screen_notifications' ); 

and…

function celbirthday_notifier_remove_screen_notifications() {
	global $bp;
	
	bp_core_delete_notifications_for_user_by_type( $bp->loggedin_user->id, $bp->profile->slug, 'new_birthday' );
}
add_action( 'bp_notifications_screen', 'celbirthday_notifier_remove_screen_notifications' );
add_action( 'xprofile_screen_display_profile', 'celbirthday_notifier_remove_screen_notifications' );

As I say, this works fine, but a I am not sure if I need the second “add_action” (xprofile screen).
And finally, to add notification I use this code (which is not working):

//Adding notification
function buddypress_celebrities_add_notification() 
{    
if ( bp_is_active( 'notifications' ) )
 {  

	$fecha_act = date("Y-m-d");
	$res_birth = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT wp_best_favs.user_id, wp_postmeta.post_id
					FROM wp_best_favs
					LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta ON ( wp_postmeta.post_id = wp_best_favs.celeb_ID ) 
					WHERE (
					wp_postmeta.meta_key =  'fecha_na')
					AND (DAY(  <code>wp_postmeta</code>.<code>meta_value</code> ) = DAY(  '$fecha_act' ))					
					AND (MONTH(  <code>wp_postmeta</code>.<code>meta_value</code> ) = MONTH(  '$fecha_act' ))
					");
			$res_birth = array_filter($res_birth);  
			$matriz = objectToArray($res_birth);  //I use this function to convert objet array to simple array
			if(count($matriz)==0) 
			{ 
				// está vacío 
			}  else { 
				global $wpdb;
				$bp = buddypress();
				$current_time = bp_core_current_time();
				foreach ($matriz as $v1) {
					
					$famoso_id = $v1[post_id];
					$receiver_user_id = $v1[user_id];
						
				$args = array(
					'user_id'           => $receiver_user_id,
					'item_id'           => $famoso_id,
					'secondary_item_id' => $famoso_id,
					'component_name'    => $bp->celbirthday_notifier->slug,
					'component_action'  => 'new_birthday',
					'date_notified'     => $current_time,
					'is_new'            => 1,
	       				 );
			 bp_notifications_add_notification( $args );
		}
	}
 } 
} 
do_action( 'bp_init', 'buddypress_celebrities_add_notification' ); 

So this is my bigger problem:
Add notifications (function buddypress_celebrities_add_notification()) is not working.
I am pretty sure this is because I am not hooking properly, but I tried so many hooks and none of it did work.
I Know the code is fine because if I comment the two first lines and the two last lines (so I run the code not as a function) the notifications are being added to database.

Anyone can help me, to find a proper hook, or just pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

So then, if I can get some clarification, what’s it talking about on this page with:

per_page optional
The number of messages to display on a page before they are paginated to the next page.

• Default value: 10

If that’s as obvious as I think it is, then where I can find that in my files?

Hi Henry,

I was able to fix this. It was in w3tc, I had combined certain files, and forgot to set up templates for buddypress.min.js in the minify options, the thing is that it started in the latest version of BP, before I never had any troubles with it.
