Hello.

I was messing around with my gmail and Google Driver earlier, when suddenly this icon appeared (see image below) with a message, saying something about "background apps".
This might seem silly of me, but the icon is annoying the hell out of me right now, and I would love for it just go away.

Does anyone know how I can get rid of this icon? I don't want it to show up ever again.

Translation, from above:
*About Google Chrome
*Task manager
*Google Drive
*✔ Allow Google Chrome to be run in the background
*Exit


EDIT: Um.. I played around, removed the "check mark" and it seems to have removed the icon. (Easier than I thought.)
I can't be 100% sure that it won't re-appear after I restart my computer, though.
But the problem seems to be solved for now. Also I feel stupid.
