No. Nothing like that.
It's a perfect circle (unlike the rounded-off square that are the other 
icons).
It's pink. As I said it contains a black edged rectangle with a border 
at its top. In the lower part of the rectangle is an arrow pointing down.
True, it suggests something to do with a download, but it sits over the 
Navigation bar. No amount of touching or holding makes any difference 
and while it is there, the screen is frozen and no icons respond.
The only way to get rid is to restart the phone.
It has only happened twice, and I will try a screenshot if it happens 
again or even take a photo.
