Unable to read or view new messages

I have notifications popping up next to the app icon indicating new messages yet when I go to view them/clear them out there is no "messages" to view. What happened to that section where you can view push notifications? Now Im stuck with an annoying red bubble "unread" message next to the app icon that I cant get rid of. Help?
