I have the unlocked S8 on Sprint, which has no Sprint VVM support. Accordingly, periodically, I get a false voicemail notification.
Before the Oreo update,. I would clear this notification by long pressing the notification, which would open the "Phone" app info and would "force stop" it, which would clear the notification.
That no longer works. Neither does going to Phone settings and force stopping it.
Any ideas?

I'm using ChompSMS on my Sprint EVO and love it, but after I answer my text message, the notification stays in the task bar until I pull down the task/notification bar and "clear it". I'm running froyo and when in my standard factory messages app, press "menu" but there's no "settings." When using my standard factory message app, after I view and/or answer a message, the notification in the task bar goes away. But with ChompSMS, it doesn't, thus requiring me to remove it manually (I'm also running call notification so it beeps at me every two minutes until I clear it manually). Any way to stop messages from appearing in the notification bar? Or is that mandatory for my "call notification" to work? Any way to make chompsms clear the notification after viewing and/or answering the text?
Go to the stock message app and uncheck received notification. Use chomp settings for your notifications.
Hi. I'm using superclean 2.4 voodoo and am using Google Voice for voicemail. I turned off the text notification option in its settings, but I still get text/transcripts every time I get a voicemail and it's extremely annoying for me. I just want a regular voicemail notification icon in the notification bar and that's it. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Thanks in advance.
I believe I figured it out. Regardless of what the app settings are, it was turned on within Google Voice on the website for my account under Settings/Voicemail tab under "Voicemail Notifications" where it was checked on. I still believe the app is buggy since even when I delete voicemails via the app, say in the Spam folder or Trash folder, they don't go away - I have to login to the website to do that. So just a heads up for anyone who runs into any these problems.
I wanted to post this so that everyone can see it a bit better. I dealt with this little annoyance and didn't want to do a factory reset, so I trialed and errored it to find this solution.
My guess is that if someone has a voicemail message that is unchecked, gets a new phone, and installs the voicemail app provided by their carrier, the notification is stored in 2 places instead of 1. Therefor causing the problem of a notification not going away because you can't clear it from both places at the same time. My guess is that this will be the same solution for everyone with a Samsung S5. If this doesn't work then my guess would be that there is another app installed on the phone that handles voicemail messages.
First make sure that no voicemail messages are on both the phones voicemail and in the apps voicemail. Notification Icon is still present.
Second - go to Home button > Settings > Application Manager > Scroll to "All" > Voicemail > Clear Cache as well as Clear Data, then uninstall.
Third - Home button > Settings > Application Manager > Scroll to "All" > Phone > Clear Cache as well as Clear Data. Then Turn off, pulled battery, waited 10 secs, put battery back in, and booted up. If the notification is gone proceed to step 4. If not then repeat 1-3 (I didn't have to repeat 1-3).
Fourth - Install Visual Voicemail app for your carrier. Set it up. No notification. Problem fixed.
I did a reboot, no notification. Turned off, pulled battery, waited 10 secs, put battery back in, and booted up. Still no notification. I don't know yet what will happen when I get a new voicemail, but for now that little pest in the top left corner is gone.
Cheers.

After multiple Voice mail messages, the icon has not come back. The only notification that shows up is the one connected to the Visual Voicemail app provided by my carrier. This seems to be a long term solution.
Just call your phone and leave a voice mail at your number now go to the phone and listen ? to it and delete all voice mail after that restart your phone

Every time I get a VM I get an audio notification, but immediately goes to "listened" status, so no notification shows up. I find myself checking my Visual Voicemail app constantly so I don't miss anything anymore. Anyone else having this issue?
I cannot eliminate the VM icon on the task bar. There are no voicemails. I have tried but it does not swipe away. I have tried to restart, clear cache, to no avail. Any ideas? This phone just got set up with no other issues. I cannot even find a voice mail app.
You should have a voicemail application in your list of applications.
From your home screen, swipe up into the application list and type "voicemail" in the "Search Apps" area.
Once you open the application there are probably "sample" messages describing the Sprint voice to text service. (Good add on service, especially if you are often in meetings and can't listen to a voicemail... you can read the transcription.)
