Can anyone seen this icon before? It is on my Verizon Galaxy S III running ICS. I cannot find any reference to it anywhere.
... ooops. i can't post an image.
It just looks like the little Android guy and his body is an Ice Cream Sandwich. It is in the upper left corner. Nothing showing up in Notifications.
Thanks!

Looks like ads you get with unwanted apps spamming your notification; had that before just reboot and maybe uninstall the app you think is doing it.

Or download air push detector. It will tell you which apps are causing those kind of ads.

I know you tried a detector. Did you try Airpush Detector? That one had never failed me.
Tried that one, shows nothing.

That's it... most of it are from legit companies or Google... no idea what this could be from!
Also, the ads are for apps from the playstore - "sexy cutie (live)" and "run run bear" (both of which appear to be made by the same developer).
Thanks for your help!
It may be widgetlocker, try to uninstall it and see if you get it again

Same here, intermittent but annoying.
choosing the notification takes you to the Google play app page
Edit:
Might be GoKeyboard, I think it started after i turned it on.

Sorry. Just looked at the pic. That it's not push.
Got rid of widgetlocker and it looks like it's stopped!
I paid for widgetlocker so this is ridiculous!

Are you sure? I have widget locker on my Droid x and my kindle fire and I don't get spam.
sexy cutie - spam
I don't have that widgetlocker, but I receive this spam,
Did anyone solve the issue??? I have uninstalled GO SMS Pro, but seems like something else making it appear in the notification bar...
Go to the Play Store and download Lookout's Ad Detector. It should scan your apps and tell you.

I am guessing the same, could be Go Launcher or Go Keyboard. Coz i also have them installed.
Absolutely Go Keyboard. I used Addons Detector - Notification Monitor, and it showed:

Ditto. I use Go-SMS as my texting app and used to use Go Launcher on my GS2.
It is the Go stuff eh?
Welp, Bye bye go... eat my ass.

hey there, I just installed [ROM] CM7-APOCALYPSE-FINAL [09.07.12] [FireKernel OC] and finished everything but then I got a problem with the messaging apps.
There's no messaging app in the apps drawer, and when I clicked the one on the home screen it says ".could not launch the requested activity"
I'm sorry for posting here but I can't post on the original thread due to post amount restriction. Thanks a lot for your help
P.S. this is the original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700749

You can download the AdAway app in market, if you are rooted, or searching in google for every app you have installed recently.

I heard that google did something about that. It was carried by an app(s) that you downloaded. Apparently, they told the app devs to take them off in a certain timeframe, or else they'll be removed from the play store. And ad blocker apps, that I know of, can't block those ads either. At least, adfree doesn't.

It's true, but with adaway you can select the option "scan for adaware". It' simple, it can tell you the adware app or apps you have installed. The second solution is usin rom toolbox with the option autostart manager and find the app. Then you must long press the app, go to advanced and disable some receivers of the app. For example "Airmob". This isn't very simple, but with a few try you can stop these annoying ads in the statusbar. I did this with Mosquito killer and now it works. Usually it FC when it must send you an ad in the statusbar, but the app works fine.

You can always go to applications > running and close them one by one to see which one it is

Hi everyone ,
This is my first time here so hopefully I can get some help.
Every time I turn on my tab I get app pop ups on my home screen and also automatically apps are saving to my pages, I've gone through my settings and checked to see if I have anything turned on that shouldn't be, if someone could point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated as it's really starting to annoy me.
Cheers Headman

It's a rogue app the causes that. It contains adware and spyware by changing your homepage (monitor what you search), constantly adds search icon on homescreen and comes up with annoying ads in both the notification bar and by pop ups.
Run this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector&hl=en
And remove those apps.

Agreed, my fiance had one in her phone and it would push notifications, pop-ups, all sorts of invasive stuff. I wanna say she used an app "installer" ( like the ones found in 4shared), which was what installed the "rouge" app.
