Why do some Facebook notifications disappear?

If the other user deleted the post, the notification would be automatically removed from your Facebook.

If the other person cancels any of their action, then the notification gets deleted. For example, if anyone sends you a friend request, you would get a notification, but if that person cancels the friend request, then the information of the friend request would get deleted from your account.

In case all the notifications get deleted from your account, this means that there is an issue with your app, and you should report the problem. There can also be a problem with your phone notification settings; therefore you can check that too. See also What happens when you accidentally send a friend request on Facebook
