If it's next to your 4G icon, that just means that you have GPS turned on (and there's no way to get rid of that if you're running the stock ROM without root). When the GPS is active, you'll see a pulsing crosshairs icon on the far left side of your notification bar away from all of the others. If you don't see that on the left side of your notification bar, there are no apps using your GPS.
