Facebook SDK Javascript request dialog disappearing on receiver side

So I'm using the request dialog like so...

function sendRequestViaMultiFriendSelector() {
  FB.ui({method: 'apprequests',
    message: 'My Great Request',
  });
}

And being triggered like...

<a href="javascript:;" onClick="sendRequestViaMultiFriendSelector()" >Request</a>

On the user side, when you click it, everything works great. It pops up, lets you pick friends to send to etc. But when the receiver logs in there's a notification for about 1 second then it disappears and nothing is there. Not sure what would cause this or why it's happening. Any ideas?

I've seen this behaviour in the past. It has to do with the requirement of needing a valid canvas app url programmed into your app settings. Without it, you will get the 1 second then disappear behaviour.

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/requests/

User to User Requests are only available for Canvas apps, not websites, as accepting a request will direct the user to the Canvas Page URL of the app that sent the Request.
