I'm sure I'm missing something stupid. I've turned off notifications in the stock Messaging app (I'm pretty sure). And those look different (they have the green text bubble as the icon). Can anyone clue me in as to what that 2nd notification is below the blue Handcent icon? And can I get rid of it? I'd like to keep the text messages private is why I ask - I have Handcent and the stock Messages under App Protector. And I have Handcent's option checked to not show messages in the bar, just the notification. So what is this thing?

Does anyone else get this notification? I tried killing apps one at a time, still can't figure out what it is. I just started using my notification bar after hiding it for a long time so I can't say when it began.

Saps did you nuke the stock email in your debloating?

No thats one of the few I left. NOsquid does this happen for each and every message and email?

For emails I just get the normal Gmail icon in the notification bar. This happens for SMS, and yeah seems like all of them. As long as I've been paying attention anyway.

I'm stumped :) It's still there after I turn off notifications in Handcent and stock Messaging.

Man I dont know. Maybe and this is a reach uninstall and re-install Handcent :thinking:. Or before that go back to stock messaging and make sure you've got that off. You using TW?

Nah no TW, I'm using LP. I don't know if it's got to do with the stock app or Handcent, I can turn off notifications in both and still get that thing, lol.

I emailed Handcent, maybe they'll have a clue
