Hangouts notification number will not go away! How do I get them to go away?

[AC Question]

Hangouts notification number will not go away!

I have deleted all my messages, cleared the cache, disabled, enabled, uninstalled, re-installed, wiped everything and started again and it STILL says '1' on the home screen by my hangouts icon. It's empty! At first I thought it was something to do with Pushbullet as sometimes the notification stays live if you've read a message in there, but that's clean too. At this rate, I'm going to use a 3rd party app for SMS, it's doing my head in!

Are you using any third party launchers? Some of them have bugs with Notification Counters.
