S3 Mini Home Screen Problem

I have this problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, which I never experienced before.
Every time i clear memory from the task manager, the messaging icon is removed from the home screen (bottom home screen) so I have to drag again and again the messaging icon from apps page to home screen after I clear memory.
Anyone can help me with this problem?
Thanks! :)

I thought clearing memory will reduce the RAM usage.

Its a common misconception with android.

Android isn't like your windows PC. Its based on Linux, and free memory is wasted memory. By clearing our your ram in the task killer you're actually eating up more battery because the system is just going to restart those apps to cache them again


Its perfectly fine to leave them in memory. They won't eat your battery being there, as they're just cached, not actually running.
