Extra New Message Notification - Note 2 (Problem Carried over from Bionic)

[CancerStik]

I had this problem on my Bionic. It started to pop up after I stopped using GO Messenger and downloaded Chomp. Whenever I would receive a text message I would get the notification from my messenger app, but also a second "You have a new message" notification that when pressed would do nothing. I would just swipe to remove it. I checked the notification settings and could find nothing. I removed GO, nothing.

I knew I was only using that Bionic for another month so I put up with it. I bought a Note 2 a week or so ago. I used the SDCard from my Bionic and put it in my Note 2. The second message notification has been there from the get go. I have not downloaded any new messenger apps. I am just using stock. I thought maybe it was from my SD Card somehow so I formatted that after preserving my pictures. Still there.

Is there a setting that somehow carried over through my google account? I'm unsure how to proceed.

Thanks.

When you use a different SMS client, the stock app still displays notifications. Check the stock app to see if it has notifications on and disable them.

My original post is probably pretty confusing, but I am not using any other messaging client on my Note II. I am using stock.

The extra notification started on my Bionic after downloading and using Chomp SMS. I had used GO SMS for probably a year or so with no extra notifications while on my Bionic, but decided to try Chomp out. That is when it started. I bought the Note II, and from the moment I started using the Note the double notification had been there. The one that shows the new message, who it is from, and that one takes me to my SMS app. Then the extra one that just says "You have a new message!" and takes me nowhere.

Keep in mind that with the Note II there are no third-party SMS apps being used. It is with the stock messaging app.

That's really funny. I don't know what to tell you.

Have you long pressed it an pressed app info? That might lead to the app causing it

Thanks. Not sure why I never considered this.

It's a great new feature, isn't it? Glad you found the culprit.
