Samsung Galaxy S3 - Won't clear out text message notification icon

Welcome tot he forums!
Have you tried swiping it away in the notification shade?

I have had to actually delete the message that brought up the icon to begin with to get the icon to go away. Hasn't happened in a while though.

Touch, hold and slide it down to the "X" icon.
