Stock messaging app stuck with a "1" notification

[ecs180]

Hi everyone,

I only use the stock messaging app. As of today it is apparently stuck at "1" under the notification. i tried to open up all the texts to get ride of it but cant. Also restarted, rebooted and cleared the app data the phone but no luck.

any advice?

thanks!

I had a similar problem with the unread notification on the gmail app, I ended up having to delete the 2 emails that would not go to unread. Sounds like you may have already tried that with your messaging problem.

One text message needs to be "opened"

Ok, I know this will sound somewhat elementary but the stock sms app can be bizarre sometimes. Just make sure you actually opened the last text you received (like you were reading it), then hit the back button until you have completely backed out of the sms app. I'm sorry if this sounds painfully basic, but the stock sms app can act up and be stubborn. Did you try this?

If that doesn't work, delete the app icon from your dock, restart your phone, then add it back to your dock. Did this work?

just to close this out for anyone searching this...go to application manager - all apps - "badgeprovider" - clear data - restart phone

Thanks to Brent Dobbin, his solution
to fix go to application manager and scroll to all. then go to badgeprovider and clear data,,, next restart the phone and it should be gone
Worked fine for me

What happened was that you had a message notificatition, then your phone was shut off or died. This happened to me twice. I am stuck with a "3". I have no idea of how to get rid of it.

Thanks brent dobbin, Ive just read your post and I too had the same problem with the notification 1 the message envelope, then tried your quick easy step with removing it and it totally worked!! It was becoming annyoying to say the very least, thanks for your tip, it helped a great deal.

We have the same problem on a S3 but with the stock email app. Will this solution fix the email app?
