Welcome to Android Central! Do you mean that the unread message count badge on the app icon still reads 1? Try going to Settings>Apps>All, select Messaging, and Clear Cache, then Force Stop. Now try opening the Messaging app again. If this didn't help, you could also try Clear Data, but this might delete any text messages you've saved. I'm never quite sure if this is the case, but I always have to warn people, since they might keep valuable texts stored in their phone. (They shouldn't just rely on the phone storage, though, since if it's lost, it's lost forever. Instead, they should consider something like SMS Backup +).

I'm also having this same problem and it's driving me crazy! I have an LG Volt. I have no new text but there's a 1 on the messaging icon on the home screen. I've tried everything, including the previous suggestion. Help!

I installed new messenger from Playstore. Turned off notifications and stopped the app. This worked for me. Need to send message to restart messenger.
