Notification Badge In Drawer?

Hey all, everytime I do a manual scan on a file I get a counter on my Avast icon in the drawer. I have tracked it to the Notifications screen in Avast. Does anyone know how to make Avast quit showing this badge? I am using the latest version of Avast Free on Win 7. Thanks

At this moment of time, the tray icon notifications can not be disabled.

This may change in a future version.
