Since a lot of people seem to be struggling with this, so I decided to make a detailed tutorial on how to use the Facebook Live Updates API:
http://www.codedestination.com/1/post/2013/05/-facebook-real-time-updates-api-tutorial-part-i.html
What you are looking for is explained in the second part of the tutorial series.
It explains how to decode the JSON object notifications you receive from FaceBook, as well as how to store these updates in your own database.
Hope this helps! Good luck!
