Default [Q] [MIUI] Turn off birthday reminder

The MIUI calendar (or contacts) app gives me daily notifications with the text "Today is XY Birthday, don't forget to say happy birthday or get a present". My contacts are synced with facebook, so I get this notification for all my facebook friends. I don't give a damn, so how can I disable these notifications?

I'm looking for the same answer. Googling my ass off, but not finding anything yet. It's a nice idea and all, but there's gotta be a way to turn it off.

Have you tried to go into calendar and in the menu (click menu button) selected "more..." and then "Calendars" to see if there is a Facebook Calendar. If there is you can click it and make it not sync and not be visible. I do not personally have this problem and I am running MIUI with Facebook contact sync. Hope this helps.
Device: T-Mobile G2x
ROM: Stock 2.3.4 V21y

If I helped you please click the Thanks button.

I am having the same issue. I don't believe this is directly related to Facebook. It just becomes more annoying when Facebook is involved. I too would love to turn this off!

Clicking the notification sends you to the contacts, so it's most likely the contact app. Calendar is off the hook, I disabled every calendar and notification and still got birthday reminders.
Facebook may be involved I think simply because it syncs birthdays to every contact that has it set on their profile

Still, there is no option that I have found that disables these notifications, and if there is one, I'd like to know :/
