"Select input method" never goes away with nonstock keyboard

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. With SwiftKey X installed, whenever I focus to a text input field a "Select 
input method" alert appears in the notification bar. If I select this 
notification, it brings up a list of input methods. 
2. I'll select SwiftKey X (set as the default input already) and it will close 
the window.
3. If I focus on a text input field again, the same message appears.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
This notification should go away once the user has selected their preferred 
input method.

What version of the product are you using?
AR24

Please provide logcat ouput and any additional information below.
(required)

Logs when input field is selected and de-selected with the back button.

Can you get me a full logcat output? The snippet posted is not related

I tried it again and this is all that's being output when I focus on a text 
input field and navigate away from it. Is there another log that might have 
relevant information?

Here's the logcat output for when I select the "Select input method" 
notification from the status bar:

And here's what happens when I select SwiftKey X (already selected) and the 
window closes:

After some googling, this appears to be a feature (?!) of ICS and not an aospx 
bug. I've gone ahead and filed a bug on the Android issue tracker:

Ok, for right now ill mark this assigned to "Google" since a formal ticket was 
submitted to AOSP upstream, and since like you said, it appears to be more of a 
"feature" and not a bug. Ill leave this open so other users can see this 
information and so we can have a reference for the upstream ticket

I actually like the ongoing notification. It allows me to switch between my 
emoji and swiftkeyX

One trick I've found to get rid of the notification, open titanium backup and 
search for the default android keyboard and convert it to a user app, now if 
you go to settings > language and inputs, you'll be able to uncheck android 
keyboard, where as before the check box was greyed out. If you only have one 
keyboard checked ( SwiftKey, swype, etc) you won't get the notification
