You may notice that the charge level seems to jump a bit when you plug it in. IIUC, the ways a device can measure a battery's level when discharging and charging are different, and may not agree perfectly. The fiction that a battery is a bucket into which we pour green fluid is appealing, but it's a big simplification from a messy chemical reality.
In short, if the screen says it's charging and the charge level isn't actually going down, I wouldn't worry about it: it's probably charging OK. If you want to wave a rubber chicken over it, turn it off and back on.
