How do i get rid of the (1) on my messages app?

There's the little 1 unread message number above my text messenger app even though I've already viewed all messages. I've tried deleting everything, clearing all message data and caches in app manager, everything. How do I get rid of that annoying little unread message number?

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone do you have? One way to do it is to Clear Data from the homescreen launcher (the name of the app can vary, depending on the device). This means you'll have to set up your homescreens again, though.

If you have an unread message, you will get the (1) notification badge. If you haven't already done so maybe clear the cache or data for the app.
