At least on Facebook anyway, I only put it on for certain things, although I still get emails when someone comments on something I posted. I guess it really depends on the site. However, many times you only get notifications, for example on Instagram, if you allow the app to accept notifications and usually only when you are logged in, at least in my experience. However some, particularly weather apps, will run notifications in the background.
