I am developing a Proof of concept application on Windows Mobile 2003 / CF
v2.0 that uses the Notifcation control to alert users to various issues.
After my the call to notification.Visible = true the notification bubble
correctly displays, but the little icon located to the right of the Start
button remains in place. Even worse, when the user clicks on the icon it
doesn't do anything - like show the users what the original notification
message was, for example. Any ideas of why this icon is remaining behind?
It even remains after the application shuts down.
 
Regarding the bubble not showing, you've definately set the Text & Caption
properties to something? Also are you using SHFullScreen, this can lock down
the titlebar and stop bubble notifications from openning.

The icon is removed from the tray once it has received a response - you need
to have a hyperlink or button on the bubble, check the MSDN documentation
for particular special codes for these links. Calling Dispose on the
Notification should also remove the tray icon.

Yes, I've set both of them. Actually, I'm using the example that is shown in
VS2005 help files
(ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.NETDEVFX.v20.en/cpref1/html/T_Microsoft_WindowsCE_Forms_Notification.htm)
related to the Notification class whereby you click on a button on a form to
display the Notification (a nicely decorated HTML-based dialog with combo
box, check box, etc. is displayed). Then when you click something that will
dismiss the Notification the icon in the tray remains behind, but when
clicked on doesn't show anything. I'm not using the SHFullScreen.

Hum?
 
The example uses cmd:2 as the url for the form submit button - this is a
specific identifier for special purposes, the page you referenced has a
section on it under "Remarks", change this href to something else to
actually dismiss the notification completely.
