Try this:
(defadvice org-cycle-internal-local
(around org-cycle-internal-local-suppress-messages activate)
"Do the local cycling action, but suppress messages."
(letf (((symbol-function 'message) (symbol-function 'ignore)))
ad-do-it))
(defadvice org-cycle-internal-global
(around org-cycle-internal-global-suppress-messages activate)
"Do the global cycling action, but suppress messages."
(letf (((symbol-function 'message) (symbol-function 'ignore)))
ad-do-it))
You can also use `flet' form to `ignore' the `message'.
