Most of the time my text messaging icon has a number 4 indicating I have 4 unread messages, however there's nothing there.
Looking through my app drawer the text icon also has the 4. However it sometime goes away by itself, only to return again.
Not a big deal, but it constantly looks like I have 4 unread text messages. Anyone else having this happen?
Settings > apps > text messaging > force stop > clear cache > clear data
Should fix your problems

Yea, mine got stuck once. Careful though wiping data will delete messages.

Anyone else having this issue. I've cleared text app cache, data. I've also wiped cache partition via recovery menu.
Would wipe data / factory reset fix this issue?
I have the Canadian version through Rogers.
Before you resort to a full wipe, try rebooting or waiting a while. Mine cleared itself up out of the blue after opening and closing the text messenger app a few times and a reboot.
Here is simple solution
I got same issue. SMS/MMS counter shows new unread message. But I can't see it and this annoy.
Any solutions like - go to apps and clear data/cache does not work.
I thought, if it's really new message and I just can't see it then I need tool to see it.
Open Play store and search for "clear sms" and found Smart SMS Free app.
Installed it and ran.
It create data base of messages and shows one new and unread, I opened thread and it was empty mms message. I just deleted it and now stock SMS/MMS counter shows no news messages!
I've had similar issues with other apps after restoring from a backup image, usually with apps that also backup settings to some online service (for me it's usually Amazon or Google, but I could see it happening if you allow VZW to backup your settings). What I found works for me is to go into settings, apps, then find the app that's giving you problems (i.e. messaging, Gmail, etc.). Clear data, then immediately reboot (before the phone has a chance to sync again). If it's Gmail or something, you'll have to reconfigure the app on first launch, but it should be OK then.
Listen to me!!!
The message count problem is not with the actual text messaging app. It is with the app called "Quickview" which displays the message counts for each app in the Blur OS (phone, email, text, etc.) Go to Settings>Apps>All and force stop the app called "Quickview" this should remove the "ghost" message number notification which stays on your text messaging app icon even though you have no new texts.

I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I started using Handcent again today, but every time I look at a text it displays "7 unread messages" in my notification bar when I have 0 unread messages. No matter how many times I clear it, it keeps coming back whenever I open it up. I've tried deleting my texts as well. Any ideas?
Uninstall and reinstall. Had the same problem. Idk if it'll happen again lol but I'm waiting to see if it does.

when u say you deleted your texts.. are u deleting ALL text messages?
If you've blacklisted 9016 (visual voicemail) in Handcent, every now and again it'll still show an unread indicator. In those cases, I just press menu and "Mark all as read" to make it go away.
I'm on my second g2x. The first had the random reboot problem. This new one is great except for the multiple messages I receive. I tried turning off the notifications for the native sms system app and tried a couple of different sms apps from the market. Now I get sms notification along with the system app notification. How can I disable the system app completely?

Try using Titanium Backup to freeze " (sms/mms prefs) Messaging 2.2.2 "
after turning off sms notification in the stock app, go to the messaging in settings->applications-> manage applications. find messaging and unset it as default, then clear data if needed. should prevent double sms notifications.
Messaging -> Settings -> Notifications
Should stop the double notifications as well
Hey guys,
So my phone ran a bunch of app updates last night (including one to ChompSMS, my default text app) and now I'm not getting the little popup window or notification icons (on the status bar). I've tried uninstalling Chomp and clearing its data (and the stock SMS app's data) and using the default messaging app with the same result. I tried using another text app (Textra) and that didn't work either. Gmail notifications still work (that's the only email app I use).
One thing I'll note is that sometimes when I have a couple text messages the notification icons will appear only after I go into Chomp and open one of the new messages. It only seems to work when I have multiple unread messages.
I'm running MOAR 5.0. Any suggestions? no problems with this (or anything) until now. I'd prefer not to do a reset or restore since I spent a lot of time customizing things.
Update: seems Verizon Messaging had an update that messed with the notifications for other text apps. Notifications for Verizon Messaging still worked when enabled. I had been using it for group messages, but now that ChompSMS has it I've just frozen Verizon Messaging. Everything is back to normal now.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem? I have notifications selected to notify me when I get comments, tags, etc but never get a notification ring or icon in the status bar. Currently running stock cm11s, rooted. I've tried changing app settings, account settings, clearing data, uninstall, reinstall, different roms, but nothing works. It's just a mild annoyance but something I'd like to fix if possible
I'm using Facebook Lite and get all of my notifications. I don't recall missing them on the normal Facebook app, either, though.

Don't know how else to put it...
I noticed that if I double-tap the gmail notification on the AOD, I will be taken directly into the email message but the gmail notification does not clear/get dismissed if I just hit the home button. It will dismiss if I hit the back button within the gmail app and go back to the inbox.
However, when I receive 2+ gmails, the notification works properly and dismisses immediately when the app is launched from the AOD notification shortcut.
I thought it was just my phone but I tested it out on my wife's S8+ as well and the same issue <-- she hadn't noticed since she didn't know the AOD notifications were shortcuts...she thought they were redundant notifications so she would just click on the notification through the shade and enter the app (which works correctly and dispatches the gmail notification promptly).
This only occurs when you receive ONE (1) email and enter the gmail app thru the AOD notification. <-- I guess it's a bug (or does Samsung intend to say it's a feature????). Being kinda OCD, it bugs me. But I had to make sure since I just performed a factory reset as my gmail app was crashing on me all day and only a factory reset cured it (yes, I tried force disable, clear cache, clear delete from both the gmail app & google play services; remove account and add my gmail account back; nothing worked except for a full system factory restore and then a manual set up)...<--Ahh, I miss being able to TWRP, use Titanium Backup and do whatever the hell I wanted with my Nexus 5 (and the only reason I had to let it go was that it won't hold a charge for more than 4 - 6 hours tops now).
Roll call and let me know if you guys are facing the same issue. I'd like Samsung to fix it since I don't face this issue on my Nexus 5 or Nexus 7 tablet.
Thanks!
