you can turn off your phone, take the battery out, press the power button and hold it for few seconds, put the battery back on and turn your phone on, check if the notification its gone

also go to

messaging -> MENU -> settings -> uncheck -> check notifications

you can backup your phone and then go to

messaging -> menu -> delete meessages/delete all

settings -> privacy -> settings reset

Use one of these links to download the Backup & Restore app

How to install it

You need to

go to settings -> applications -> check unknown sources

download IO File Manager

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.openintents.filemanager&feature=search_result

download the backup & restore app, transfer it to your SD card, use OI file manager to find it -> tap on it -> install it

Contacts

just to play it safe sync your contacts w/ google if you haven't already

open your phonebook

press MENU button -> tap on Send Contacts -> select all -> send it to your email
on your computer
-> download the file -> go to your gmail -> click on contacts -> click on more actions -> on the drop down menu click on "import" -> choose the file -> and click import

Don't worry so much about backing up your apps

on your computer go to

market.android.com -> log in -> click on My Library -> and send all your apps to your phone

if you don't want to use the backup & restore app then

Install "backup SMS" to back up your SMS and MMS to your Gmail

or your SMS use

"backup & restore SMS"
