Which version are you using? It looks like MultiWindow Switcher.

Is your phone connected to PC?

Go to settings>apps>running....You can find possible culprit

No. This happens at random.

I also want to qualify my previous answer. When I said nothing that was to mean no unknown programs.

My notifications panel has the following:
Internet Speed Meter Lite
Signal Notification
BatteryBot
NotiSysinfo

----------

At present that icon has disappeared. I will check running apps next time it appears.

Not for me buddy. I need each of them in the notification bar but unfortunately they cannot be removed from the notification drop down without also removing them from top panel.

I think it is solved now. Today the icon appeared again and now I have AcDisplay installed as locksceen.

Turns out it is the icon due to Rediffmail application.
