I'm having trouble clearing the notification bar after receiving a new text. I swipe the notification to clear it and even open the message, but the damn textra icon won't disappear. Any ideas?

i like Handcent but one thing that has always bothered me is that even though handcent notifies me of texts and i read/reply and the handcent notification goes away, the default HTC/Android messaging app is still running and showing the notifications in the notification bar.
how can i remove that crap, its so annoying to have to go click the 'clear' button in the task bar every time i get a text even after i have replied to it with handcent.
again this is the default HTC messaging app that is notifying me, not handcent.
Turn off the notifications
Since handscent and the stock messaging are separate applications they use separate notifications. However, handscent still gets its information from the messaging application. So it is as simple as turning off your notifications for messaging in the message setup. It wont hurt handscent at all. Just open up the messaging application and turn off all your notifications by hitting menu and settings and notifications (i think). Then you wont get them anymore.
This should solve your problem.
I'm using Handcent sms and everytime I get a text it'll show the icon on the notification bar like it should, but there seems to be another semi transparent icon overlapping it.. its not a huge deal but its kind of bugging me Does anyone know how to fix this or what's causing this to happen?

Be sure you have the stock sms app notifications turned off if you use Handcent notifications.
If you already do, look through Handcent's options.
If you can't find the culprit, email the dev team for Handcent.
turn off the message count in handcent and see if that clears up the icon ghosting (looks to me like the white message count number is the issue) or try a different color notification icon in handcent, see if it has the same issue.
Thanks it was the message counter.. I turned it off in the handcent settings and now it displays perfectly.

Is anyone else having this problem?
You get a facebook notification in the notification bar pull it down and tap on it. It opens up your facebook app and takes you to the notification. you tap on whatever that notification is (status update, message, etc) and read it.
A few minutes later you have another facebook notification in your notification bar, you repeat the above procedure and find the exact same message, or status update you just got notified about a few minutes ago.
I get facebook notifications just fine..... I just keep getting the same ones over and over and they never clear.
Not sure how to fix that.
I like getting the notifications but it's getting irritating seeing the same old stuff over and over.
It's the Facebook app that's broken. It has always been.
Mine does the same thing....repeatedly getting the facebook message in the notification bar. Finally had to go into facebook and uncheck that option to prevent constant popups..very annoying.
I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem or knew of a solution whenever I have widget locker enabled and I recieve a text message I pull down my notification windows from the lock screen and the text message instantly disappears as if I have swiped it although all I am doing is pulling down the bar.
When I receive a Viber message notification but for some reason I don't want to open it that moment, the notification is being removed after ~30 minutes from notifications drawer, from lockscreen, notification dot also removed from app icon. From everywhere that would remind me that I had a message. If I open Viber app it still shows as unread though.
Does anybody have the same experience and anyway to fix it?
