Does anyone know if/how it's possible to change this icon when a user receives a notification through the Facebook API?
Link to nofification example: http://postimg.org/image/93lh58btd/ (I want to change the wheel icon to a custom icon)
That icon is nothing but your app's icon.
In the App Settings, open App Details and add Icons and save the changes.

Is it possible to set the user selected icon as launcher icon while installing the application in IOS?
Our client was asking the requirement as while installing itself user can select their custom launcher icon for Iphone Application. please help me to find out the solution.
Without a jailbreak, no, you can not do it.
The icon and the background image used while loading the app are both static. The first thing you can change is after the app has loaded, then you could have a user chosen splash screen.
I have a social networking app. I have a button and based on the click on the button I need to show a small icon on the top right corner of the button. it is a custom color and text.
I know to show the default system number icon for like the one for unread mail you can get it from the shared application badge count. But I am trying to do something custom here.
I am thinking of building my own imageview (its background will be a custom png) and then within it a small text to show the number.
Anyone has experience with this and can recommend a better way?
You can add a imageView with badge image as the subvie of that button.
There is a lot of custom badge controls available.
Please check the following links.

You cannot change anything on the home screen besides for the app icon, name, and badge value. Do you mean on the home screen or on a tab bar?
UPDATE
If you mean a badge in the app, not on the homescreen, checkout #MidhunMP's answer to find links on how to do this. I have used http://www.spaulus.com/2011/04/custombadge-2-0-retina-ready-scalable-light-reflex/?lang=en before successfully.
I would like to implement a feature on my app that when a picture is clicked that it opens up a dialog similar to the dialog opened when you are on a specific picture and you click the icon at the bottom left of the screen. When that is clicked it gives you 7 buttons (Email Photo, Message, Assign to Contact, Use as Wallpaper, Tweet, Print, and Cancel). Would it be possible to do something similar in an app I am developing?
I really would only want the functionality to message and email but mostly just messaging.
thanks
That's a UIActionSheet. To make the picture tap sensitive, you can attach a UIGestureRecognizer to it.

check if your icon gets overridden by another image in your meta tags. you can check them easily here.
How can I change the FBML tabs Icon from the default one to a custom one, please?
It does have an icon with the new layout and it looks terrible.
Found this video about changing your own app's icon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIcG5VekxM0
But that doesn't apply to the FBML tab (since it is not my app).
As far as I know, FBML tabs doesn't have an icon, just text.
Maybe do you want to change your facebook app icon that appears on the user's app menu on the sidebar?
If it's this, you can change it on the app settings, there are two images to upload: one will appear on the permissions dialog and the other is the 16x16px that I've mentioned before.
I don't exactly have an answer but because my question is exactly the same as yours, I thought I'd add on here. But do tell me if I shouldn't be doing this and I'll remove it immediately.
I see ChickFilA uses customised icons for their tabs. Wonder if they developed their own app(s) thus the ability to customise the icon(s), or if there really is a way to customise FBML icons.
There's no icon for FBML tabs. But there's an icon for an application based Facebook tab. Here's how.
Create a Facebook app that can be integrated as a tab (Choose Page Tab Type as FBML)
E.g. Chick Fila created Spicy Biscuit app http://www.facebook.com/#!/ChickfilA?sk=app_119130604778515 that actually was later rendered as a Facebook tab (named Spicy Biscuit)
When you create an app, you can add an icon.
Submit your app to the Facebook app directory (Your application must have at least 5 total users or 10 monthly active users before you can submit it)
Now, go to the application page. E.g. Chick-fila Spicy Buscuit http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=167096109994873
Click Add to my page. Add it to the page you want to the tab embedded.
Done.
