Finally I found where was the issues.
when I was trying with

graph = GraphAPI(token_app)

I was on the good way, the only things to do was to delete

access_token= token_app

the token is saved when at the instruction GraphAPI(token_app) so there is no need to give it again.

The correct code is :

@facebook_authorization_required
@csrf_exempt     
def notify_self(request):

   token = request.facebook.user.oauth_token.token #user token
   token_app=facepy.utils.get_application_access_token('APP_ID','APP_SECRET_ID') 
   graph = GraphAPI(token)
   graph.post(
      path = 'me/notifications',
      template = '#Text of the notification',
      href = 'URL',
      access_token= token_app
   ) 

   return HttpResponse('<script type=\'text/javascript\'>top.location.href = \'URL\'</script>')

Hope that will help someone

When creating notifications, you should use the app token, not the user token. So, the token = … line is not necessary.

In addition, since you are using an app token rather than an user token, you cannot use “me/…” in the path; you must specify the user ID.

This is what worked for me:

@facebook_authorization_required
@csrf_exempt
def notify_self(request):
    token_app = facepy.utils.get_application_access_token(
        settings.FACEBOOK_APPLICATION_ID,
        settings.FACEBOOK_APPLICATION_SECRET_KEY
    )
    graph = GraphAPI(token_app)
    graph.post(
        path='%s/notifications' % request.facebook.user.facebook_id,
        template='#Text of the notification',
        href='my targe URL',
    )
    return 'etc'

Jiloko Has forgotten to update the code, I tried the code and the correct code is here:

@facebook_authorization_required
@csrf_exempt     
def notify_self(request):
   token_app=facepy.utils.get_application_access_token('APP_ID','APP_SECRET_ID') 
   graph = GraphAPI(token_app)
   graph.post(
      path = 'me/notifications',
      template = '#Text of the notification',
      href = 'URL'
   ) 

   return HttpResponse('<script type=\'text/javascript\'>top.location.href = \'URL\'</script>')

you can change ‘me/notifications’ for ‘USER_ID/notifications’
