Developers of automation solutions may find that in the process of creating and testing applets with notification abilities, the Notification Center list may become cluttered with applets that are no longer active, or have been assigned random-character names by the OS. This can occur if an applet’s name, or its bundle identifier, is changed during the development process (⬇ see below) :
(⬆ see above) The Notification Center list containing inactive and randomized-named automation applets.
TIP: To avoid clutter in the Notification Center list, make sure the automation applet’s name and bundle identifier are finalized before running them for the first time.
OS X Notification Center integration would be great, since it would allow for disabling of Spotify notifications and the badge icon.
If the Notification Center list becomes cluttered, you can use the script tool provided below, to reset the list to its default set of notifying applications (Calendar, FaceTime, Game Center, Mail, etc.).

- On your Mac, move the pointer over a notification, then do any of the following: Expand or collapse a stack of notifications: If an app’s notifications are grouped, multiple notifications are stacked. To expand the stack and see all of the notifications, click anywhere in the top notification. To collapse the stack, click Show less.
- Mac Spotify in Notification Center Submitted by mattysouthall on 2012-07-26 03:59 PM It would be cool to get a feature we can turn on to have song changes display in the Notification Center on OS X!
Download the Reset Notifications List applet. IMPORTANT: All custom notification settings will be deleted during the reset process.

Are you also annoyed and tired by Spotify’s notification badge in the dock of Mac OS X? I totally was and found a simple list of instructions on apple.stackexchange.com and want to show you how to remove this “feature”.
If correctly used, notification badges are a cool thing. They notify you when an app wants your attention. Spotify abuses this feature and shows the number of pending notifications inside its app. That means: If you ever subscribed to somebodies playlist and this playlist is updated, you will be notified. Same goes for stuff like new tracks of your favorited artists. You have no control over these notifications and will always be notified. Otherusers are also annoyed by this misbehavior but nothing changes ? Thats why my Spotify is mostly minimized to the background and when opened it shows this ugly notification badge in its UI:
Its annoying and always tries to steal my attention. Same goes for the Mac OS X dock icon:

Normally, you can open the system preferences and can disable the notifications. However, Spotify isn’t listed (although it uses the notification APIs of Mac OS X).
The instructions from stackoverflow write this missing entry into the notification database, so that it shows up in the list. Only after that you are allowed to disable Dock notifications:
Here’s the code of Ryan Patterson’s stackoverflow entry, in case it ever gets deleted:
