phone notification won't go away

I got a spam call today and they actually hung up before I could decline the call.

But the notification screen on my Vivoactive still shows the call as incoming and giving me the only option of decline or accept. Selecting one or the other does nothing.

I have turned off all notifications via the phone app and then rebooted the watch and sync'd. Notification still there.
I have disconnected bluetooth and and rebooted the watch and restated bluetooth and sync'd. Notification still there.

How do I get rid of this notification, please. Thanks.
  • Adding my voice to this thread. I'm getting the same problem. Call & VM notifications won't go away, & ping every few minutes all day & night. It makes notifications useless.

  • Have same issue on vivoactive 4 - notification of missed call is unable to be cleared. Just to add, if the same number calls you again and you action the alert (answer/reject) it will clear the notification. Helpful for me as it was a missed call from my wife that got stuck, but perhaps not so helpful to others. 

  • Unpair the device and remove it from the connect mobile app. Then go to settings / apps  scroll down to connect mobile and clear data. That will solve the issue. Worked for me.

  • Fenix 7 Sapphire solar. Instant keyboard notification won't go away. Need to restart phone. 5 years later...please fix Garmin Connect Mobile Android

  • Amazing that this bug is over 5 years old and is still present. Whenever someone calls me for a second (either by mistake or intentionally flash me [that's what Wiktionary says it's called]), call notification gets stuck on my Vivoactive4.

    The "easiest" way to clear it I found (without making the person to call me again) is to disable notifications access in Connect app, restart watch and enable notifications back again. Really annoying. Happened to me two times this week already.

  • Still an issue. Missed a call and a notification is not going away. Restarting the watch didn't remove it. Had to restart the phone also.
