How do you upload a photo on Facebook without sending a notification/newsfeed on that earth icon thing?

It's almost my birthday and I thought of something funny to post.
However, I don't like to blurt out " Oh it's my birthday!!" like a child. But I do want to share it with those who are interested and those who actually remembered my B-day. That's why I don't want it to show it up on that earth icon thing on top right.

So I thought of a way but does anybody know if this way keeps it from putting that red alert mark on other people's FB account?

1.Post/write whatever and upload the photo and set it to " Only Me" before uploading.
2.Click post
3.After a couple minutes, set it back to " Friends "

Thank you very much in advance for those kind people out there.

If it helps, I found out about an hour ago that you can set a "Future time" on Posts . . . up to 6 months, if I remember correctly. I'll Post this answer, do some Research & get back to you . . .
