This problem can occur because of both software and hardware, in case of hardware, dead battery is one cause.
The other cause that I have faced, is damaged charging circuit and that is the worst, so find a good mechanic,else new mother board will be needed.
I my case that problem occurred because I had used a low quality charger.

I have a HP laptop with Windows 7 and ran into the same problem, where the Windows task bar battery icon showed "plugged in, not charging". My solution was to:
- hold down the power button
- plug in the power cord
- wait 5-10 seconds for the charging light to switch to amber
- release the power button
- push the power button again
This resolved my issue and the battery icon on the Windows task bar switched to "plugged in, charging".
