does is this new facebook option send notifications?

[Ararat G]

facebook now has an option where u can "like" wall posts. when u click on this like button, does it send a notification? because i accidently pressed it and wanna make sure i didnt send the person a random notification

That person maybe will know someone liked their post: They will be something that says "5 people liked it" but nothing more. They won't get a notification that says you liked it
