So starting today...or today is when I noticed it... When I turn my phone on in the upper left corner this icon flashes every 5 seconds, but is only on the screen for half a second.
It disapears so fast I can't even take a screenshot of it It flashes on and off 5 or 6 times and then is gone.
Can someone tell me wtf this is? 
android btw
the icon looks like this.

The red triangle stands for AIDS The circle for pregnancy The exclamation for impending doom And the black for the risen dead

How did you search for the symbol without knowing what to search for in order to find it?

my google searches were based off from "red triangle with explanation point flashing in status bar"
Icon flashing flashing red triangle on android start up ect lol
couldn't find anything, I wish I knew what the symbol was called or for, it'd make searching for it much easier

Ive seen something similar happen on an ipod, when it was taken in they claimed nothing could be done to fix it
But obviously that was money grubbing, fart eating apple

Start it up again and get a good look at it because I just looked at a bunch of icon charts and I didn't see that on there.

Icon charts are a good idea...why didn't i think of that
I'm 100% positive I have the icon right, the only difference is inside the yellow circle, is orange, not red. And the ! stays inside the triangle. I restarted my phone about 10 times and took over 50screen shots trying to catch the fucker.
whats weird is my phone is acting completely normal besides that on startup...

Could it be from an app you downloaded and not an icon that is specific to something that came stock on your phone?

The last app I downloaded was IG months ago. I don't really use apps. My phone is mostly used for communication and streaming podcasts while I work.
I think I'm going to get my jewelers loupe, rubberband it to my wifes phone and try to record it flashing. Then freeze frame it to show the icon....what a bitch

I know that triangle usually means "play" something.
Maybe its saying "cant start google play" or "cant start media playback".

Also, if u pull down your icon bar, u should see the meaning of the icon, even if it flashes.
