What happens when you tap on it?
Probably the number of messages or notifications.

it should open up Notifications if you tap it (unless you don't have a touchscreen?) though can also use the iDrive joystick as mentioned above.

Use the hockey puck to press up, the command ribbon will appear then scroll to the number then press down. It will take you to the notifications.

Just do it through the traditional method I posted above and it will take you to the screen so you can clear the notifications. Problem solved.

I have been trying to get that notification icon cleared for months but reading the messages doesn't seem to work in that regard

Please let me know what you night have done to clear that notification. I've tried clicking on each message to read them and going into messages main screen multiple times looking for a "mark as read" option... but I still have a "6" in the white notification box

I was able to get rid of all but two messages... my upcoming break in service due in about 200 miles and my security code activation. I'm sure those will go away one I get the service done next month and I try the user agreement. My OCD doesn't like when the message icons are not empty, lol.

I've gotten used to always having a pseudo-random number in a box there, personally. For some reason, the system continues to prompt me to approve updated disclosures regularly (presumably because I turned off getting notifications for "News"), so even if I clear them something will be back in a day or two.
Personally, I don't really understand the whole "disclosures" thing; it's not like I have any options in the matter (I'm not going to stop using the product I purchased and throw it away when the company changes the terms to require stealing my data as a condition of continued use of the product). There's probably some legal reason they feel the need to prompt me with a "notification" repeatedly, but since nobody reads the novels of legalese anyway, and/or has informed consent or actual agreement to anything, it all seems rather pointless. |
