What does this icon mean and how do I get rid of it??! It is a 1 with a little flag pole type thing beside it with a red circle with a white star in it.
Tap the notification bar (straight along the profile/universal search button) and there should be a drop-down of the message. Tap the message to read/access.
Reading some forums here, it looks like it may be related to application update that is available. Some were able to clear it by updating applications and others had to update then go to their message inbox and make sure to open any update messages.
Thank you everyone for your help - it was under messages - someone was requesting to play against me in word mole (??) and i declined and it disappeared.
