Facebook notification: “XYZ downloaded a photo of you”

Question

I am a bit surprised by this screenshot I have just found on the Internet:

enter image description here

Is it fake?

This discussion seems to imply that there is no such notification.
Would be surprising but never know what Facebook will come up with next...

Create another account, friend it, download photo. Come back to first account. Do you see a message?
No notification. That's not a proof that it never happens, but I guess this screenshot has been fabricated.
Unless the screenshot also has details about when it shows, then it probably is faked
Or it could be some third-party app, and not Facebook proper, which creates that notification.

I'm also a bit worried about this. I assume these notifications simply don't exist, because I can't find any proof it does.

But it's not really nice to see this when you just downloaded someone else's photo to get a bit closer look at something in the background.

If these notifications do happen, then someone is going to think I am a big creep. O man.
