Galaxy S5: Voicemail Notification Stuck

If you are using Google Voice, here is the fix.

1. Go to Google Voice and deactivate the Google Voice
2. Log into your Version voicemail and listen to and delete any messages.
3. Go back to Google Voice and activate Google Voice

The reason the notification happened is that a voicemail was mistakenly directed to your Verizon voicemail instead of Google. Various things can cause that of which you have no control.

The above will remedy the situation.

Note that activating and deactivating will not affect your Google voice number.

When deactivating, be patient and follow the instructions. It is simple. They will give a code to dial on your phone (e.g *73) Yo enter the code as if you are dialing a call. You dial the call and just wait until it makes the call and then automatically hangs up. You have to wait for it to hand up. Don't hang up on your own.

Once it is deactivated, you can then access your Verizon voicemail to delter the errant voicemail there. Hopefully you remember your Verizon voicemail password. :)

Activating your Google Vociemail again is similar to deactivating except that you will have a longer code to enter.
 
Its easy I just figured it out. All u have to do is click on the voicemail and listen yo how many voice mails u have. Hold zero after listening to voicemail for about 5 seconds. Press 7 for every voicemail u have.
 
Go on settings and then find applications manager and go to all applications then find "phone" and click on force stop. There might be a few called phone but you will just have to go through all of them to see which one gets rid of the symbol. Hope this helps
 
Here's what I did. From main screen drag dropdown screen you'll see voicemail icon. Slide to left just a little. To the right you'll see the settings gear. Tap it. Then turn off voicemail notifications. You'll see the icon disappear. Turn it back on. Voila
I even turns phone off.and back on and still gone
