You are right, Facebook API does not provide online status of friends now. Facebook Graph API had this option earlier in V2 but they removed it in next versions. Since Facebook does not provide the online status, you need to keep track of it by yourself. You can keep track of login and logout behaviour of players and register these behaviour changes along with their date & time on your server. And then you can use this to check which friends of user are online and/or their last online time. Note that this will work only with the friends who are a user of your game and login to your game with Facebook.
