It's most likely location services. Does it look like this?

Or it could be Gmail syncing. I think the icon looks like a phone. Restart your phone and pull down your notification bar and it should tell you what is happening in the notification.

The Android system displays an icon during the boot process, this appears in the notification area, which is by the time (@Mr Bojangles1 they said by the time, likely on the left side then, not the right where the location services appears). It probably looks like a stylized 'S', almost a Superman logo. The icon goes away after all OS services have started up. It's innocuous.
