Is it a horizontal line? Where is it showing? What phone? What version of Android?
I SUSPECT it's DnD mode, just pull down your notification shade and tap the icon in quick settings and it should turn off, or tap your volume up button and tap the 'turn off" that appears in the volume slider. Without more detail, we can't help much more.
