Why do I get a Sign-In Request from Gmail when I swipe my notification panel down?

Sign-In Request

I have this notification when I swipe down, seems to be from GMail? There's a purple square with a check mark next to it. When I tap it, I get a screen flash but that's all, I don't get taken anywhere to sign in!

any idea how I can get rid of it?

Re: Sign-In Request

Found out I could long-press the notification and it would bring up the app causing the notification. Then I selected 'stop all notifications from this app',

problem solved
