To turn off notification badges in iOS, go to Settings > Notifications > Phone > Badge [Disable]

Only for unknown calls is not an option.

mobile app with unknown notifications My GarageBand app has a badge telling me I have 38 notifications. I can’t find out what they are to read them so they’ll disappear. I very rarely use the app, but wouldn’t want to delete it just to get rid of the notifications. Any ideas, please?
