I went into the settings to set up the notification interval and could have sworn that it used to push notifications like gmail. It doesn't. At any rate, I figured I would have to do 10 minutes, I would hate to be in an area with no service for a couple of minutes, miss a call, and then not find out until an hour later when the notifications refreshed. It turns out that this was killing my battery. Now I have voicemail notifications sent to gmail which then pushes to my phone.

No I don't have Google Voice, but thanks for the tip. I was looking at getting an account setup for my phone, but haven't yet.
I do want to give an update. I had installed 3 programs in the past week, 2 yesterday. The 2 from yesterday were Gmail Notitification and Gmail Unread Count. I kept Unread Count, but uninstalled Gmail Notificaiton.
I also had upgraded from Battery Indicator free to Battery Indicator Pro. I hadn't considered this as possibly draining my battery, but forgot that I'd upgraded. I went ahead and uninstalled that, then rolled back to the free version.
This was right after my post and I was at around 90%. It's not 10:16 local time (about 1 1/2 hours after my changes and reboot) and my phone is now at 89% and holding steady.
I'm not sure if Battery Indicator Pro had some kind of error or was even the culprit, but I'm going to stick with the free one as it seems to be working pretty well now.
All this tinkering to "fix" the battery is a little tiresome. Now I'm to the point where I'm afraid to install anything on my phone in fear that I'll screw up my battery life.
I'm definitely at a point where I only add 1-2 apps at a time.
