This icon has shown up recently in my notification bar and will not go away. I am struggling to find what app it is for. Any ideas?

Google Goggles didn't return any results. What have you installed recently?

Nothing new has been installed.
I was thinking since its showed up recently there was probable an app installed recently as well, since not.. did you maybe change any of the developer settings lately?
I'm guessing there is no additional info in the notif bar, right? cause if so, you can hold it down and select "app info" and then uncheck the "notifications tickbox". That works on any app that gives notifications you don't want, or if an app requires a persistent notification to function properly but you don't want to see the icon all the time.

You are correct. When I pull down the notification bar, there is no additional information for this icon (nor is the icon shown). I have not made any changes to my settings (that I am aware of) nor have I done anything in the developers settings...which is why this icon is throwing me for a loop.
Hmm. I cant think of anything else either, if something does come to me I will let you know. Hopefully someone else does know what that icon is for.
Mystery Solved....
Apparently my Notification Toggle App changed icons. I hate when that happens.

For the second time I have received an odd "One Call Missed" notification. It has a green plus sign next to it. My call log shows no missed calls on both occasions that I've received this notification. Here is a screen capture. Can anyone clue me in as to what this is?

I've had the same mystery notification twice now too. Although I'm using an LG p500 with a CM7 rom, so I'm wondering if it's something in the rom? Weird.
Looks like the ads that I get when I had the free version of the iphone keyboard. The icon is identical.
Makes me wonder if it's from one of the apps I'm using.. like a form of ad-ware etc. I only started getting it recently, and I've got a few new apps. Only thing is, they are full version paid apps.
My EVO is fully S-Off rooted.. running the latest stock rom and kernel with the latest radios. I don't think it has anything to do with root, rom, etc. I'm thinking it's app related.. whatever it is.
Try AirPush Detector to locate the app causing this.
Thanks for the suggestion einarki. I went and grabbed AirPush Detector and ran it. It's showing one app. It's an app I've had for some time now tho, so I'm not convinced it's the culprit considering this mystery notification first appeared maybe a week ago. I've had the app it detected for months.
Culprit - Root App Remover
I had the same notification and after installing the Airpush Detector it located an app called "Root App Remover". Once I uninstalled this app it removed the notification that was in my notification bar. Very helpful, thanks!

I'll second this. It's a useful app though so I just froze it with App Quarantine
This was really beggining to annoy me.
I thought it was Google voice or such,
now I know it's RAR lurking.
FROZEN & Droidwalled.
Thanks to all the posters.
I will never use the Messages app to send a picture (yes, never. I don't have an SMS plan) so I'd like to be able to remove it from the sharing list from the Gallery. Is there any way to choose which apps show up in that sharing list?
Thanks.

Only by removing the apps. You could go into the Messaging App Info page, and Disable it. As a warning, though, Messaging is one of the core OS apps, and disabling it could possibly cause instability. I've never had any reason to try it, but just keep it in mind in case you have issues; you can always re-enable it.

Any idea if this is the kind of thing a custom ROM could enable: choosing which apps show up in the menu?

Anything's possible; that could certainly happen. I don't see it as being a very widely anticipated feature, though. Just out of curiosity, I'm not sure if you noticed, but after you've used the sharing menu a few times, it shows only your top 3 apps (technically 2nd, 3rd, and 4th) that you've used for sharing, and then a "See All..." button below it. Also, your foremost sharing app will show up as an icon to the right of the sharing icon. Example below, with imgur, Messaging, Kik, and Gmail.

Just use Quickpic is is really good. I use it as my main gallery. Also has the option to hide stuff.
Thanks for the ideas.
Anyone know what app/function this icon is for. It's in my status bar up top next to the wifi icon.

Really? What an ugly icon.
It means that your Nespresso capsules are being delivered.
Seriously, I'm wondering myself
NFC
I think iv seen that before, some NFC app, maybe 'anytag'?
It does look like nfc. Weird, it didn't show on my device with nfc switched on.

An other lawsuit for HTC ^^
I don't think this is a stock HTC icon. I've never seen it while scanning tags.

It appears only on US branded devices, as far as I know. You can see it in HTC's promotional photos etc (example)
My guess is that it has something to to with certain AT&T apps/services. Not completely answering your question but hopefully getting closer to finding it's purpose.
The NFC app is Android Beam. Funny, though, it doesn't show up specifically in running apps or processes.
It shows up when you have NFC switched on. That's beaming meant to share data with other phones etc. Find it under Wireless Networks, Share and Connect on my LG V10
Hi there,
Is this possible? I'm struggled trying to achieve this but I couldn't find any option in any of the settings
Thanks,
Rafael

If you are talking about the Quick Setting Toggles for Wi-fi, Data, Screen Rotation, it can easily edited in many ways
1st way : Go to Settings > My Device > Display > Notification Panel
2nd way : Slide down the notification toolbar with two fingers, you will be able to see all options with edit option on top right

For some reason, I don't have the notification setting option under Device>Display. I also tried the two-finger pull down, and nothing. I have the I9082L, running I9082LUBAMH1. Any suggestions? Thx guys.

That's because your firmware is Android 4.1.2... What he said above is for 4.2.2...
I'm rooted on OOS12, and I recently switched to using AdGuard VPN. Now I have two more persistent notifications cluttering up my notification space: The AdGuard notification which I can turn off, and the Android System notification that says "VPN activated" which I cannot turn off or minimize. I want to get rid of that useless system notification - is there any way to do that? Magisk module, etc.?
I seem to recall finding a way to do this on a previous device, but my guess is I was using some mod that isn't available for the 9Pro (Gravity Box or XXXNoLimits, maybe).
Search for 'status icons' and turn off vpn.
Alternatively you can use a private dns such as dns.adguard.com

Status Icons gets rid of the icon in the top right (the key icon) but not the persistent notification.
I intentionally switched to AdGuard VPN for the app-level control because I need to allow ads in certain apps. I was previously changing my DNS settings with Tasker when I launched specific apps, but it was a major hassle and didn't work reliably.
Whatever persistent notification you have just silence it and it disappears. I have blokada running and no notifications at all

That's exactly what I'd love to do, but there is no way I can find to make it go away. It can't be swiped, and if I long press it says these notifications cannot be modified. This happens with all VPNs, not just those used for ad blocking.
Found a solution, though not a perfect one. The app "Auto Notifications" can intercept the notification and prevent it from displaying. Running another background app isn't ideal, but beggars can't be choosers, I'll take it!
