Sms screen on

I have an issue that keeps causing me to hit the emergency call button on my phone.. Every time I receive a text message my screen turns on. I've tried literally everything that I can think of. I tried turning off all notifications from the default sms and downloading go sms and disabling screen on, that didn't work. I tried freezing the sms app and using go sms, that didn't work. Finally I deleted all 3rd party apps and turned off all notifications for sms then had my wife send me a message, and my screen turned on with no sms notification but it's still turning on when I receive a sms. It's only when I receive sms that it happens. I have a ZTE grand x Max plus Rooted and ready to try anything that you guys have to offer. Amazing phone other than that little annoying "feature"
