Help Updating? 3-sec screen with champagne bubbles

This post is not about bubbles under the screen protector.

My battery life has decreased and while diagnosing the bug I noticed that periodically, while the device is in standby mode, the screen becomes active for about 3 seconds - not quite enough time for me to see everything on the screen.

It displays what looks like lots of champagne bubbles rising from the middle of the screen to the top, and below the bubbles - in the center of the screen - it displays what is probably the remaining charge in the battery. Could there be some sort of automatic updating doing this?

If this happens often, it could explain why I get less than one day out of a full battery charge. I used to get at least 1 1/2 days.

Can anyone identify what's happening? My Verizon Note 2 is running kitkat.

Thanks, Gary
