re: Start>settings>sounds and notifications.
Within that screen you can disable/enable the message to display on the screen, flashing light, and sound. Cant help you with the start bar though.

thanks slvrap1. i have got that.
what I want is the icon in the start bar to not show up.
just a sound that something has come in.

even with disable on screen, the icon still will come up on the start bar, which in turn can be pushed and message seen.

any other help?
