  1. Navigate to ~/Library/Preferences/
  2. Delete (drag the file to the trash) the following files: com.apple.softwareupdate.plist, com.apple.preferences.softwareupdate.plist (if you have them both)
  3. Reboot normally
  4. If the notification is still there try
  5. Going into Software Preferences > Software Update, it said the same "Your Mac is up to date -- macOS Catalina 10.15.4" and then the badge should disappear!
  6. Automatic updates are still enabled and the badge should not come back.

Run in terminal:

defaults write com.apple.appstored LastUpdateNotification -date "2029-12-12 12:00:00 +0000"

It hides the notification until the end of 2029. You can use any future date here.
