You should be able to click on it and opt to see fewer notification. That number represents the number of notifications you have. HTH

You can right click on the number 7 and there's an option to show less notifications.

As you've already turned off notifications try clicking on the counter and clear all what it shows. If that is not working try turning on notifications again then clear the notification list from the counter then turn notifications off again.

As Fabler2 says, just click on it and it will go away. The counter shows your unread notifications. Once you have clicked on it you will have read them, the count will be zero, and a count of zero does not get displayed.
