Basically I noticed today, whenever a app has a update & has a new icon, even after updating, the old one remains in the app drawer and doesn't update to the new one, so you have the updated app but with the older icon, it's not really a issue, I've just never seen this before, is there a fix?

Just starting noticing that my alarm notification icon randomly appears and dissappear even though I have an active alarm set. Haven't flashed anything lately and previously the icon was always there until the weekend when I don't have it set.
Anyone else happen to notice this?

Yeah it happens to me all the time. I'm running CM11 on my Nexus 5. I've been digging, trying to figure it out, but nothing yet.
I've seen this happen at least since ICS on the Gnex

any of you happen to use the Carbon twitter app? I have a hunch this app is causing the icon disappearing issue.
I've temporarily uninstalled carbon to test my theory.
Carbon recently updated their app and it does some 'hiding' of notification bar icons when it goes full screen. Might be related - or might be nothing at all.
For me, the disappearing alarm icon only started in the past 2 days or so.
No carbon twitter app for me but I did recently install the Timely app, wonder if that has anything to do with this or just a coincidence.
uninstalling carbon wasn't the root-cause; alarm icon disappeared again.
i did install timely within the past week ... i've since un-installed and still get the disappearing alarm icon.
Same here. Timely. I was thinking it might have to do with Timely's syncing, but that's completely untested.

When u uninstall timely do u still have the disappearing alarm icon via the stock clock app? I can't figure this out.

I found a post on reddit that talked about the Timely app ... and that if you uninstall Timely but still had an active alarm, it will cause issues with the alarm icon with the stock app. So I re-installed Timely ... and sure enough, I had an alarm still 'active'. I deleted that alarm and uninstalled Timely - but still have the issues with the stock alarm icon disappearing.
There's a thread going in the google product forums on this same issue: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/nexus/oWxThT1ZPd0/IkdLlmB110IJ
Seems no one can figure out the root cause / fix.
Even I get this issue. In my previous phone too (having JB 4.1), this used to happen with default alarm as well as alarm clock plus.
Now I have cataclysm in my Nexus 5 and using Timely. Same happens here too.
I noticed this when I had Timely installed and even when I turned to alarm in it off it still made it disappear. I would suggest if you have any time or other app as such remove them and see if the issue continues.
I uninstalled Timely and it works as it should now.
Hope it helps.

I had this exact same problem with Timely installed. I uninstalled Timely and my alarm clock notification no longer disappears and reappears.
I hope this works for you.
I have the same problem (stock, un-rooted Nexus 5). What I've seen too is that it only disappears if I'm connected to WiFi. If I'm connected to T-Mobile's network, then the alarm notification displays just fine. But shortly after it connects to a WiFi network, the icon disappears.
In some of the Google support forums, a guy with the issue root-caused it back to the latest version of the Pandora App. Seems that ever since Pandora added alarm clock / wake-up functionality, it conflicts with the stock alarm icon.
I uninstalled Pandora a few days ago ... and my alarm icon is back to behaving normally.
i have the same issue with the icon... i do have timely... but it doesnt conflict with the app actually working... my alarms always go off even tho icon is not visible

i have no timely and no pandora but my alarm icon disappears anyway.. maybe xposed wanam makes some trouble with it cuz I modified all the colors of the statusbar icons? hmm... did somebody get another solution in the meantime?
My alarm icons only appear exactly two hours before the alarm is set to go off.
My phone is a nexus 5 running stock 4.4.4. with a T-Mobile simcard. I also have the T-Mobile app installed.
It used to be that when I dragged down the phone's status bar, among the notifications was a convenient display that showed how many minutes I used and the renewal date.
For some reason this notification has now disappeared and I can find no setting in the app to change to bring it back. Anyone know what to do. Is it from a recent app update? Is there a way to restore that display?
Thanks.
SOLVED
It's a bug in the latest version of the T-Mobile app. I installed a backup of the previous version of the app, and things are back to normal.
Several of my apps does not show up when I hit the recent apps soft key. Of the apps I frequently use that does not show is Facebook, Messenger and Dolphin Browser..
Anybody else experienceing the same issue?
This is quite annoying... Am I the only one who have this issue?
I couldn't tell you (don't remember) what apps were guilty but I've noticed the same thing with several different apps.

I did a check just now, and actually most of the apps I tried did not show up when touching the recent apps soft key. It's also not consistent which apps does not show ?

The recent apps is literally the apps that you accessed most recently (not most frequently). Depending on your Chrome setting (if you are using the Chrome browser) you may have your tabs out in the recent screen as well.
The list will always change, depending on what you looked at last and in what order
I just went to the three apps you mentioned in sequence, and they show up on my recent apps screen.

I know how the recent apps view is supposed to work, so that's not the problem.. As I mentioned in my last post theres some inconsistency in wich apps does not show, but some of them never seems to show. It also sometimes happen that I'm unable to remove all apps from the list. They show up the next time I hit the recent apps soft key.
I'm on build number:
MMB29K.G930FXXU1APB4
I see, that's odd. Not sure what to make of it. I am build APB5, maybe that matters. Verizon pushed out an update last week for March security and to fix wifi issues, if you are on Verizon give it a shot and see if it helps.

I'm from Norway and my phone is not tied to any operator. I am also on the latest update available in my region. I guess I could try to do a facory reset, and see if it helps. But I don't think I'll bother anytime soon..
Problem solved
It seems like i finally found a solution to my problem
After investing a whole day doing several factory resets and installing of apps and settings in different order each time I tracked the problem down to an app I use, called Sidebar Plus. I installed this app and its settings with the help og Helium and all of a sudden some of my apps refused to show in the recent apps view. I then uninstalled Sidebar Plus, did a reboot, and all of my apps now show up in the recent apps view as they should
I now have installed Side Apps Bar - Edge Sidebar instead, and everything seems fine :good:
A new system app notification appeared on my phone yesterday. Anyone know anything about it? I never installed the last system app (and never will).
I have a 5.5 Idol 6045i. I tried to edit my post but it hung up and would not do it.
Over the last views days I've started to notice that when I unlock my pixel 2 the location icon appears in the notification tray when I start a app like XDA or Facebook the icon disappears and when I press the home button to go back to my home screen it comes back straight away. Has anyone else noticed this problem?
I've noticed the same since yesterday. Location icon shows up every minute or so. I ended up disabling advanced location.
I've disabled location completely. I'm guessing it's a Google app that is causing it but not sure which, the only ones I've updated recently are YouTube, health services, play music, Google and keep.
Edit
Looks like a issue with the Google app. I uninstalled it and the went back to normal, when I updated it the problem came back.
I had the same issue, turns out it was the Google beta app for me. I uninstalled it and reinstalled the stable version
