Google Hangouts and Talk both giving you notifications?

Some people have been getting double notifications on their devices since installing Google Hangouts, it will even play the notification sound for both. Clicking on the Google Talk notification doesn't seem to do  anything, so dismissing them on older Android versions can be a pain.

If you have been getting double notifications from Google Hangouts and Google Talk since upgrading to Hangouts here is something you can try:

Uninstall updates on Google Hangouts
Open Google Talk
Sign out of Talk
Update to Google Hangouts

It seems people that were logged into Google Talk during the upgrade have a chance of permanently getting stuck logged into Talk when Google Hangouts "replaced" it on their device.

I hope it resolves it for you.
