Yeah, I was afraid of that. But thanks to your reply, something just struck me. The notification messages only come up with the phone radio off and Garmin is running. Garmin use locally stored maps, which is useful when being out in an area with little or no cellular signal. I did have Garmin set to connect to Garmin Online ALWAYS. Garmin Online allows me to check the latest weather in the area, as well as performing a Google search of local POI's. Anyways, I just changed Garmin Online to PROMPTED and the notification bubble is gone. Stupid me, I should have looked at the app.
Well, at least I now have a near perfect device.
