I have searched and searched and I'm sure there is an east fix. But this has me stumped.
I am rooted and have safestrap installed. I have frozen a few apps through tibu such as the Ota update and the security policy update.
Out of the blue 3 days ago, my voice mail notification symbol in my status bar just showed up. I use Google voice and have not used the stock VM in years. But I listened to my VM through the stock app so that I could clear the notification. I listened several times and I have no new messages now, but the icon is still there and I have no idea how to clear it any help would be appreciated! It's really bugging me LOL
Thanks
I finally went in and force closed the phone app...and it went away.

I just set up my voicemail 2 days ago, a message was left yesterday, I have PF Voicemail and regular vm, what's the purpose of the PF vm? could that be why that icon would not go away? should i just remove it?
also, i noticed no matter what i do, that amazon mp3 app wont' go away.
how can i really remove some of these apps and also how can i make sure different apps won't keep popping up or showing that they are running in the back ground...
I have a voicemail notification that i cannot get to go away. I have installed the rom according to the OP and everything else is running perfect. Ive tried to delete it multiple times but nothing. Any ideas on how to get rid of it?
EDIT: please delete after being there all day and night it just went away. SORRY!!!
Has anyone else run into this issue in the past week or so? Soon as I updated to the newest version of Google messenger ah which is now "Android messages" probably to reduce confusion between Facebook messenger, my messages app always says I have unread messages which I do not. I also do not use any other messaging app for texting. I do not even have the Facebook messenger app.
Things I have tried:
Deleting data on messages, fixes it temporarily after a restart but then comes right back.
Uninstalled app, restarted, reinstalled, restarted, still does it.
Tried clicking on every individual text message on each person, doesn't fix it.
Bothers me so much I did a factory reset, put no apps on my phone, disabled any bloat, downloaded Android messages, tried it, still saying I have unread messages.
I have no idea what else to try, from what I have heard on Reddit, many others are experiencing the same problem and no fix for them that they knew of yet.
I'm thinking it must be something with the recent update, obviously that was my first deduction after updating and it happening literally right after with never having problems but I'd figure I would try stuff and see what happens.

Any updates? My wife's ZF is experiencing the same thing. I noticed it on my own device a few days ago, but, since I run Action Launcher, I just turned off notification badges.
Had same exact issue but fixed it
Yes I've had this same issue since the update and it turned out to be related to Verizon Messages app. I opened Verizon Messages, opened each "unread" thread then I closed the app and disabled it. No issues since then with the notification bug in Android Messages. Also I made Verizon Messages the default messenger temporarily while I did the above and then afterward I switched it back to Android Messages
I followed almost the exact same steps, except for making it the default messenger. I'll try it again today and see if it works. Thanks!

Hmmm, this also did not work for me. I did make it my default messenger while I read the messages then went to disable and force stop it. I tried many variations of enabling and disabling the app too like blocking notifications, turning off system control, denying all permissions, nothing seems to work. I guess we'll just have to wait for an official fix it seems.
Same here. My wife's has been doing this for the past week. Mine just received the push today for it so now mine is doing it. Hopefully they resolve the issue soon.
Ugh same here again..
Yeah it's happening again now on mine so it does indeed look like we will have to wait for an official fix :-/ I think I might just download an older version apk until they are able to push a fix out for it
Same problem here. Uninstalled and rebooted. Did not install update. Works fine. Will wait for next update release before trying update again.
Moto Z Force Droid
So I've recently started having a couple issues with my AT&T S8 Plus. I've already performed a factory reset once and wanted to see if anyone else is having similar issues or has ideas.
1. When sending text messages I get a never ending spinning wheel next to the message that it is sending even once the recipient gets it. I seem to have to reboot the device to fix it. Doesn't seem to matter if I'm on wifi or LTE.
2. Badges have been all over the board. I'll have a badge for 8 emails on my home screen and will delete the emails but the badge doesn't go away like it used to. Likewise sometimes I'm getting emails and a notification but no badge. I have to clear the badge manually. This has also happened on the phone app.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Same here with s8+ about badges. Any solution?

Same here as well and plus+ for anyone who could find a solution to this very annoying problem. Tried almost everything.
Disabled Badge Provider for now.
you can long-press an icon and remove the badge

didnt read the whole post, my apologies
I'm having the same issue with badges, but also not getting notifications at all from some apps, including no badges. This seemed to start at some point over the weekend.
just cleared badge providers data from app manager. Seems like its ok for now.
Same is happening to me. Only the last week where WhatsApp and email badges not clearing when messages read. Perhaps a bug has crept in since the recent update.
So annoying
Same prob here with badges not disappearing and messages app status is spinning although message has been sent and received and replied to...Started little over a week ago I guess...Help please...This is killing my OCD.
I am having the exact same issue, for the second time. This started happening about two weeks ago, and it lasted for about two days. Just as I was about to give in and reset the phone, it cleared up on it's own. Texts showed sent right away and badge counts stayed correct. Then it started again two days ago. Totally random. But now, new symptom: apps that were open about the time the issue started, opened by themselves again early this morning. I have NO clue whats happening.

Same with mine. Tried switching themes back to stock which seemed to work for a while now it's doing it again. Such a pain since you have no idea if your msg sent or if it's just the phone acting up. I'm now wondering if it's part of there new battery optimization?
oh man im glad im not the only one with texting issues. its so freaking annoying. i did a hard reset today praying it would fix it, plot twist it didnt. its only the stock app tho. i was running the google app and today that decided it wouldnt recieve any texts out of the blue. im trying to find a way to uninstall or disable the stock app..
Does yours also make duplicate texts?
Samsung Badge timeout is broken
This is happening to me as well. Example WnatsApp or any other app that has a badge for unread notifications or alerts stays that way even after the messages and notifications are read. What works in my case is to keep the App open for about 10 secs or so AFTER the mails/messages etc are read. If it is a notification, just opening the notification does not work. I have to manually open and click on the individual notifications for Samsung to register that as a read. This was the case from the day I purchased the device and has remained the same ever since. Frustrating in the extreme.
Since we're all complaining... me too! Somehow, the latest update has managed to cause a clustermuck to the most basic and useful features. Since I installed it on my S8 last week, my email and whatsapp badges have disappeared so I now need to open the bloody app to see if I have messages.
Meanwhile, my email randomly shows a badge for "11" new emails. It occasionally clears only to reappear later.
Rolling back the update seems to be a royal ball-ache too. Any suggestions welcome.
Same issue here I have tried everything even have some other symptoms
Along with the same issues you're having I am also having issues with clicking on a notification it disappearing and nothing happening and hours later after setting my phone down and coming back to it trying to do something else on it then all of a sudden of the notification pops up and those badges are really making me mad when they don't disappear I tried disabling them couple hours or next day they come back I really like my phone but I'm starting to hate those badges
On Friday, I installed an update on my stock V20 on Sprint. Since then, I get text notifications sometimes, but not always. I can't seem to pinpoint it. Not specific to certain contracts, not specific to SMS vs MMS (group).
The app icon shows the unread messages. But there's no notification tone/vibration or even an icon in the notification bar.
I have rebooted phone (as well as watch). I have cleared cache on messaging app.
Anyone else experiencing this or have in the past?
I am having the same exact problem!!! It is SO frustrating. No sound or icon in notification bar, just the number by the messages app button. This is happening all the time.

Did it just start with the recent update? I had ZERO issues prior. And it's not even consistent. Sometimes works fine. Other times I'm getting a text from my wife, then another, angry, one 15 minutes later for not responding ?
Problem solved!

I backed up my texts just to be safe but then went into the play store and to the Android messages app. I hut uninstall and it asked if I wanted to uninstall all updates, I hit yes. Since then my notifications seem to be working ?! Hope this helps!

Didn't even think to check for an app update lol. I see there was one out there. Read some comments which reported same issue and then showed it was fixed after updating.
I just updated mine. So hopefully that just fixes it. If not I'll give your method a try. Thanks!
Update. Simple update of messaging app fixed issue. Doh
