To invite friends through your app you can use App Invites. Before using this feature make sure to set up your Android Facebook SDK version to 4.0 or later.

Basically what you need is the list of all the friends of user on facebook to invite them. you can get ALL friends' list only if your app is in "GAME" category.

If not, then you can still get the friend list of user , but only some, not all. refer to terms friends and invitable_friends on facebook.

So, here are few things you can do (BUT NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL)

  • Change the category of your app to "GAMES" & you'll be able to get all friend's list & then you can use WebDialog & WebDialog.RequestsDialogBuilder to invite that friends

  • give any link to canvas URL on facebook app setting. that link will be used only when user clicks your notification from web. that link won't affect your app in any way.

If your app has a Canvas presence, you may also use the Requests Dialog on iOS and Android

If your app does not have a presence on Facebook Canvas: You may use the Message Dialog on iOS and Android, or the Send Dialog on Web

I assume you don´t have a Canvas presence? In that case you should not use App Requests.
