Cannot remove notification icon from Spotify App icon

[nic_lawton]

Hi 

I am running Spotify version 8.4.52.812 on an Galaxy S8 with all up to date software.

There is a red notification icon on my Spotify app that I just cannot remove or find a reason for it being there.

I have looked through every option I can think of within the app to remove it, but there is nothing there!

Any suggestions?

I have the same. Android uses that dot to let you know the app has a notification. Spotify puts an icon in the notification tray when it is open, hence the icon showing that there is a notification by means of this dot. If you close the app and it dissapears from the notification tray you should see the dot dissapear at the same time.

Thanks for replying. You're right that works, an annoying feature!
