OK. Here is my senerio, I got a new phone for boost after my old one got wet. Its the ZTE Warp sequent. I started to get ads recently about a month or two ago. I don't know why but I get them on my notification bar. The phone vibtayes and the light goes on like if it was a message or a new email. Also when I turn on the phone I get black screen and I press them home button and it goes back to normal. I also get redirected to thegoogle play store when I unlock my phone sometimes to a game app and I sometimes get an app shortcut to n app I don't have. The phone itself is rooted but when I tryed to unroot it by removing the files I could delete the files but super user didn't go away. What can it be.
 
It's aggressive advertising, pushed by ad networks like AirPush, Leadbolt etc. and caused by a recently installed or updateted app on your phone.

This thread could help you to catch the culprit app ...
Push Advertising
