I was downloading a word document (.docx) from Gmail and the download has become stuck in my notification dropdown. The download has completed - progress bar is complete and the document can be viewed in downloads.
To resolve this I have attempted to clear the notification, delete the document from my phone, restart the phone, restart the phone including a battery pull, clearing the market cache (suggested from another site), and looking through the files on the phone on my computer in an attempt to find some type of temp notification bar file that I could just delete to no avail.
Does anyone know of a way to remove a notification manually from this phone? I really can't think of anything else to do.
Any help or suggestions are much appreciated.
Anyone?
Also, I'm running stock 4.0.2.
Have you tried deleting the entry from the Downloads App?
Yeah, thats what i meant by deleting it from the phone. Thanks.
Have you tried clearing the data from the download manager and/or downloads? Apps>filter:all download manager/downloads and clear data. See if that works.

Thats what I was looking for. Thanks!
I think it works the same way as a pending download that wont go away. I normally just clear the cache in the settings than exit out the app and it clears on my notification bar.

Same issue
My download notification of a gmail attachment is stuck. It neither downloads, not i am able to remove it. Not sure what the above technique meant. I went to applications -> gmail -> clear data and clear cache but the notification is still there. i use stock download manager and there is no option to clear cache of stock download manager.

Didnt get you.
Go to download manager in app drawer, select the document that stucks at downloading, press the trash icon, profit.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?

I am using Galaxy S2 by the way. There is this stock app called "Downloads" if thats what you mean by the download manager. There is no file shown here. So I cant trash it.

I seem to be having a problem with clearing my Status Bar>Notifications.
I know the Clear button is right there in the top-right corner of the the list. I hit it, the list appears to be blank. But when I go to Market, or if I download any files, the whole list comes back and all the old items are still on there.
Why won't that old stuff actually Clear?
Is this list "saved" somewhere, like in a file?
UPDATE: Solution is to Clear Data for the Download Manager app.

(Desktop) Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>(Tab) All>
(scroll down and choose Download Manager)
Click [Clear data]
Reboot?????
You need a reboot. Happened with me too, particularly when you install lots of apps.
Reboot doesn't work
Thanks for the suggestion, but I actually already tried that. It did not help.
Any other ideas? I'm not an Android Ninja, but I could manage something a little more technical than Reboot. Happy to provide any other debugging info that would be useful
are you rooted?
if so, go into recovery and wipe dalvik cache and reboot.
I am rooted, and I have already tried wiping the Dalvik Cache (through CWM).
That also didn't work.
you tried to remove the battery for a few seconds?
edit: clear the download manager app data
SOLVED
It's been a while, but...
I just checked in on this thread again to see if anyone had come up with a solution to my continually nagging problem.

That does in fact seem to have worked, thanks! I don't know the exact "cause" of this problem, but at least here is a perfectly good work-around.
Perhaps this will helps someone else. If I ever figure out anything more about WHY, I'll post it here and be sure to post it here, as well as passing it along to the appropriate Devs (Cyanogen, or whomever).
As a bit of additional diagnostic info, when I Install or Update Apps from the Market, I can download them just fine, and they install fine too, but the Market app status gets stuck on "Installing..." with a gray scrolling bar. The Notifications indicate that the process is complete. Not sure if this is in any way related.
I cannot download anything from Market, either new or updates - just stays on 'Starting Download'. No problem with connection or browsing Market. On stock 2.51 ROM. I removed the following apps (but don't see how they would affect the Market)
AmazonMP3
GoogleTalkService
GoogleTalkStorage
ESMusica
HipHopOfficial
RevolverTV
TrueCountry
HelpCentre
News2.1
Weather2.1

Are you downloading using wifi , new owners are told to do the initial market setup first download using 3G, and then wifi download should work ok, also make sure your using @gmail.com and not @googlemail.com for your email address.
Also i have heard that clearing the market cache in the built in android task manger can help if the above does not work.

Removing the ones I highlighted was your mistake. Never remove core Google apps.
@ccav2000
Thanks. Found and reinstalled the 2 apk's and all back to normal.
I had backed up with Titanium, but for some reason it only (seemed) backed up the data not the app. I can't work out how to back up the apk.

Hi, I also did the same mistake and now I cannot download or update anything on the market, could you tell me where to download the 2 apk's?
Everytime I start a download it says 'downloading' for a few seconds and then says 'download paused' and remains there.
This issue is on wifi only, and happened out of the blue yesterday. On my 3g data connection the apps download just fine.
I tried a lot of methods like clearing cache and all but nothing worked.
What can I do?
1. Goto Settings -> Application -> Managed application
Set filter: All (default is Downloaded)
Select Download Manager and Clear data
2.Disable (uncheck) Settings -> Data manager -> Data saver
3. Logout and login Google Talk
I did all that but it still didn't work

Maybe ur settings are set where it disconnects wifi when the light go off... try changing battery profile to performance... in the battery manager...
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
wow setting the battery to performance mode worked! thanks a lot!
strange though, my battery had always been on battery saver mode and apps used to download, i wonder what happened
the apps did not download even when the wifi was still connected, it said 'download paused' after a few seconds itself
Market downloads paused again on wifi since yesterday! What is happening?!

Hi guys, since I downloaded several wallpapers via chrome yesterday, I noticed that no matter how many times I cleared the "download complete" notifications, they would still appear again. Even just after I rebooted the device; and moreover, I also cleared the data of "download" and "chrome", they still appears anyhow!
Anyone has any idea what the problem is? Thanks in advanced.

I may just find the solution: I should clear the data of "download manager", not the "download". It seems ok now.

or you could just clear notifications and it will clear that
I had this same problem twice, but thought it was bug of ROM and installed another one :silly:
i had the same problem on 4.2. force stop and clear data of download manager in all apps did the job until i dloaded more files. turns out it was because i frooze download manager from starting up in system tuner app. i allowed it to start and problem was fixed.
however, touching the dloaded file from the notification bar does nothing. going into the download app and selecting the file leads me to ":/downloads/all_downloads does not exist" error. you actually have to go into root explorer or your file manager to open the file.
i do not like 4.2, at all. it's buggy as hell. i about to restore my 4.1.2 rom.
its a free app so I hope its OK to ask. my play store is giving me a stupid 497 error.

That sucks man. I did a little digging and their project has a site on googlecode: https://code.google.com/p/ebookdroid/downloads/detail?name=ebookdroid-1.6.6.apk
Sounds like you may have gotten a bad playstore apk... have you tried this?
Go to Settings
Select Applications ->Manage Applications or Apps
Select All (Look for ALL on top menu or swipe to the right to get to ALL)
Select Google Play Store
Tap Force Stop and tap Uninstall updates.
Go back to All and select Google Services Framework.
Select Clear Data.
Turn off (shut down) your device and turn it back on.
Open Play Store and see if you can log into your account and download apps again.

Well if you uninstall your updates/clear cache/ and re login you will not loose any apps. It would just force your tab to download whatever apps have failed, and request new info from google (hopefully clearing your errors). From what I have seen, that 497 error has been happening a lot lately and when it does it fails on all downloads. Let me know if you try it, and what your results are. I am curious...

my wifi at work was fine but this one app kept erroring out. got home and it updated fine so I have no idea lol
I have this circle showing up on my phone (attached picture)
Not sure why or how it all started. I already did. Factory reset and it won't disappeared or help solve the problem. I have a full Kaspersky Antivirus (Paid one) working. I did full scan but came with nothing wrong. However, this thing is annoying. Sometime it automatically select or open an app or something by it self whenever it appeared. So I think I may have to do with. Virus. I just need an help to get rid of it. Thanks
Heh, not a virus. In Developer's options (in phone Settings) you have the option enabled to "Show taps" (under Input).
I checked on that but nothing of such... See attached
Go to Accessibility options, and see if you have "Assistant menu" and if it is on, turn it off.
Do you have ES File Explorer? If so, disable ES Swipe.
No I don't have an ES file explorer.

How about my other suggestion?
Or look for other 3rd party apps. But you said you did factory reset, which would have wiped out any installed apps. The white dot appeared after factory reset, even before any apps were installed?
May be Google Maps!
Try to remove Google Maps and then report back!
I do not have the Google map on my phone.

Yes it does. I checked on 3rd party app. Still the same Damm thing
You didn't answer the subsequent question. Tough to help, when I have to keep repeating myself:

Also, how are you doing factory reset? Do you have no 3rd party apps after factory reset, and you have to setup all your user settings again? And this issue still appears?
