Txt message notfication not dissapearing

[matchstickman]

Hello I'm new to android and wondered if anyone could answer this question.

When I receive a text message, I get a small notification on the Text Icon saying I have 1 message which is fine, however after I have read the message and gone back to my home screen it fails to dissapere. Only when I restart my phone does it go...

Is this an issue with my phone or Android?

It never happened when I was on 2.3.2 but when I upgraded to 4.0.3 I found nigerly things like this occuring.

Same issue with me. What I do is click on the actual text message balloon and that takes you to another screen. When you get out, the notification number goes away. Not the most efficient way but not sure what else to do. Anyone else out there???
