well either way the icon will. it has to tell you that you have an alert. it wont stop coming up. sometines you can find a custom theme with a glitch in it so it doesent show up. the icon will always appear, and the little star on the icon will too. as long as it doesent ring or blink, it shouldnt betoo much of a pain.

the only way to stop the alerts is deleting the app.....then going on facebook mobile through the browser and looking at notifications there. not to sound sarcastic or rude, but the point of the app is to alert you that you have a notification.
