Here is a screen shot. It's circled in yellow. It showed up after a reboot. I thought it might have been a total message count, so I deleted an email, but the number didn't change.
What other apps do you have? This does not look like any stock BB notification, so it must be a 3rd party app creating it.
I didn't mean anything by you making a joke, I wasn't upset about it, just wasn't sure.
I did an actual battery pull and not a "QuickPull" this time and it's gone now. Before I did the battery pull I needed to change the permissions to QuickLaunch to "allow" on everything. Maybe the 172 was coming from QuickLaunch since it didn't have the right permissions??
Had it happen to me the other day too. I had just signed up for facebook sometime earlier in the day so I thought it might have been that. I think I did a battery pull or something and it went away. Never sure what it really was...
