"1 search pending" notification from Google App is stuck on my Marshmallow phone since yesterday. Based on other answered questions about stuck notifications, I tried:

1. To Cancel the pending search
2. Rebooting my phone
3. Turning off and turning back on the notifications for Google App
4. Forcing the Google app to close
5. Turning off the notifications for Google App, rebooting the phone, and turning notifications back on.
6. Trying to search the same thing again

None of the above "solutions" worked.

I had applied the June 2016 security updates from Google last week. Not sure if this had something to do with it. 

Any help in this regards is appreciated.
