Your iPhone likely has multiple apps with pesky red notification icons that constantly pressure you to check them and clear them.
Also likely, is that the numbers inside of those red icons keep going up (and up) as you try your best ignore them. This might cause anxiety. So first, let’s keep in mind that your apps are important, but their constant notifications probably aren’t. You’re better off without so many of them.
Sep 09, 2010 i downloaded a news app in the app store. It has a push option so when a breaking news comes up it notifies me. But unfortually this notification won t go away anymore. I ve even tried to uninstall reinstall the app. Even in settings i tried to put notifications off but nothing worked. Here's how to prevent the app from running in the notifications area when the window is closed: From your desktop, click your workspace name in the top left. Select Preferences from the menu. Click Advanced. Below Other Options, uncheck the box next to Leave app running in notification area when the window is closed. When I click the notification from there, there's nothing new to be seen. Even after a clean re-install of Windows 10 the issue persists. Makes me think that the issue doesn't reside on the local client system itself. Important: this issue is not only affecting the local desktop client, but also the Microsoft Teams web app (teams.microsoft.com). After that, hit the home button, open and close the app and see if it fixed the badge. Force Close the App. If that didn’t work, let’s try and force close the app and then reopen it and see if that solves it (it worked for my issues with Google’s Inbox, for example, but not Waze). Double click the home button to bring up the app.

In the age of notification- and information-overload, users are looking to “Marie Kondo” their iPhones by cleaning up unnecessary data and relieving themselves of the stress that comes with it (and we’re here to help).
Those red icons are actually called “Notification Badges” and there’s an easy way to get rid of them for good. If you’d like to get rid of Notification Badges on one, two, or even all of your apps; here’s how it’s done.
Sep 26, 2014 Is there anyway to get rid of the number one over the settings icon? I have the number one, because of the update to I OS 8.0.1. But now when I go into general, and software update, number one is still in that bar. However, it says my software is up-to-date. Is there anyway to clear this? Launch the app that is displaying an alert by tapping its icon on the iPhone's home screen. In some cases, this is sufficient to clear the badge. For example, if there is a red circle with a number on the Messages icon, it indicates that you have new text messages. Launching the Messages app and closing it again erases the icon's red badge.
How to Turn off Notification Badges
Unlock your iPhone or iPad and open the Settings app.
Scroll down to your list of apps and select the culprit app that you’d like to quit bugging you.
Tap Notifications. Here you’ll be able to fine-tune what kind of notifications the app can send you. You may toggle off notifications entirely, or control where notifications can appear, and more.
Toggle off “Badges” to remove red icon notifications from that app.
Head back to the main Settings page and repeat for these steps for all other apps that you’d like to receive fewer notifications from.
Turning off the Notification Badges feature is a great way to reduce the amount of clutter on your iPhone or iPad’s Home screen.
But keep in mind, for important communication apps like Mail and Messages, it’s probably not a good idea to turn off notifications entirely.

What is the Red Number on App Icons?
The Red Numbers that appear on App icons whenever a notification is received for the Apps are known as Badge App Icons in iOS. In general, Badge App Icons indicate the number of unread or unopened notifications.
Other times for app icons like the App Store, the Red Number indicates the number of apps that you need to update.
