    Open the app drawer on your phone. Locate the Facebook app. Press and hold on the icon. This will take you back to your home screen with the icon still attached to your finger. Let it go and you'll have a link directly to the app from your home screen.

    have you downloaded Facebook from the Apps store? If so it should put the icon on screen. Or have you just found it using the google search?

    could be, find an Icon named Market, find it in there and download it. That is the correct Android App

    OP, it seems you are not trying to locate the screen where all your apps are on the phone, press the middle or left icon to bring up the screen, then swipe left to reveal more, your app will be there.

    Tap and hold an empty space on the home screen
    >> App >> Find Facebook icon in the list and tap it.

    And RTFM.
