I use Google Voice, but for the first message I ever received (even though I had Google Voice voicemail set up), a normal voicemail notification showed up in my notification bar. And now it won't go away!
My Verizon voicemail inbox is empty.
Please help.
This worked on my GSM Galaxy Nexus, maybe it will work on the Verizon version:
Go to:
SETTINGS > APPS > ALL > PHONE > CLEAR DATA
If you don't see an app called PHONE, try looking for one called VOICEMAIL and clear data there.
edit
so apparently what I wrote above is really only a temporary fix until the app reloads its data and again shows the never ending indicator.
What I ended up doing randomly was just calling my carrier for tech support and they were able to send a reset signal to clear out my voicemail indicator. So essentially the tech support just cleared out the system's voice mail indicator and that fixed the problem. I personally use Google Voice for voicemails so I can't say if this will reset your voicemails, but from my experience I didn't have to reprogram my voicemail service or settings (for the carrier). But I would double check with the tech support just in case. Cheers!
