Worked for me on Xperia 10 II/4.1.0.24 by closing the map app. This made the GNSS icon disappear.

Is there way to see status gps or disable it from terminal? I have this issue since I updated to 4.1, maybe something went wrong during the update

Ok, I think I know what the problem was. A geoclue process was running and it didn’t close when I turned off gps toggle. Since I closed this process manually, this issue disappared. Anyway I don’t understand why a restart of my phone wasn’t enough to solve it. At the moment, everything seems to work fine.
@amaretzek, thank you for your answer, it is good to know that tool to manage gps toggle from Terminal.
