WhatsApp unlocking my phone, opening on its own, with no incoming messages!

WhatsApp is turning on the screen, beeping and showing it's text message screen, all on it's own, with no incoming calls, messages etc. It appears on the the chat screen with the "Start a Chat ->" text.

I'd closed all apps (not background apps), and the phone is locked with screen off. So somehow WhatsApp is becoming a foreground app and unlocking my screen!

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks!
