I have been getting the same thing for about a week. I don't know where it is coming from but always seems to be spam stuff. I wish I knew where it was coming from so I can cancel it.

Its a push add. Its from one of the apps you have installed. It like an ad that's outside the app.

Is there a way to find out from which app and cancel it?

Download air push... I believe that's the app... It will tell you which atop is doing it do you can uninstall that app

"I'll get you my little pretty... And your little dog todo too"
"I don't even have a little dog todo"

Air push detector or addons detector will show you.

Tap'd to the Maxx

I had that a few days ago. The last thing I downloaded was a game called a zombie...something I can't remember the exact name. I just deleted it and haven't had the green thing show up since.

I had the same thing from a fighter plane game.

There is an app called Ad Detector that I found and it worked extremely well to find the apps causing me the same problem.

I can attest that AirPush Detector (5 stars), along with Addons Detector (5 stars), Lookout Push Ad Detector (4.5 stars), and a few others all rate well and are effective at identifying the culprets. Some, like Airblocker - Airpush Block and AirBlock (AirPush Blocker) also work to prevent apps from pushing these ads to the status bar.

The ads you are getting are almost assuredly as a result of certain apps and their advertisement revenue.
