Notification on my Note 8

Persistent Notification on Android app icon

The android app icon (the one you see in the apps list) shows a red number to show the number of notifications pending. But in my phone it constantly shows 1 notification on the app icon, but when I open Facebook there is no notification. Even if I have no notification, or 10 notifications, the app icon constantly shows one notification, it's really annoying.

How do I get rid of this?

Are you certain that the notification isn't informing you of an app update?

Thanks for your response.
No it is not a notification for a
FB Update

I get this if I have private message on Facebook because I refuse to install FB Messenger on my phone. If this is the issue, two options: 1) Log onto Facebook on a desktop PC and read the message, Next time you open FB on your phone and it refreshes, the bade will clear. 2) On your phone, long press the app icon and then select the option to clear notification badge.
