Hard to tell when you haven't provided a complete example.
Just looking at the code you did show, though, I notice that
you have
PERFORM pg_notify(fac);
but there's no single-argument form of pg_notify in standard PG:
regression=# \df pg_notify
List of functions
Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data types | Type
------------+-----------+------------------+---------------------+------
pg_catalog | pg_notify | void | text, text | func
(1 row)
Maybe whatever shim you've got for that doesn't work right?
