I unchecked all the "in notifications center" boxes so there is nothing in there. But the notifications center icon is still up there on the menu, over on the right side.
Is there a way to just get rid of it completely?
Thanks,

Even though I have all the checkboxes for all the apps turned off and nothing is in the notifications center, I continue to get notifications when mail arrives.
Hmm...

You can't get rid of Notification Center entirely, but you can option-click on the NC menu item to turn off all notifications.
You can also get to the On/Off switch with a two finger swipe down in the Notification Center.
Unfortunately there is NO WAY to get rid of that icon. Not until someone develops a hack to get rid of it.
Tuttle,
Thanks for the option-click trick. That greyed the icon. I wonder why email notifications continued to come in even though all the checkboxes for email were turned off.
The two finger swipe down in the notification center doesn't seem to do anything but scroll though.
Therabyte,
I hope someone does hack that. Waste of space! 🙂
Thanks, people.

Uh oh. I put my iMac to sleep last night for the first time in years. But when it wakes up from sleep it forgets the option-click setting and Notifications are back.
Why does it send Mail notifications even though I removed Mail from the Notifications Center by unchecking all three boxes for the app?

The option click method is the same as turning off "Show notifications and banners". It will revert to ON after 24 hours or so.
But why won't turning off the checkboxes do the trick?

killall NotificationCenterNotifications will no longer be posted, alerts will be gone, and the menu bar icon is no longer visible. If you do attempt to get to Notification Center either through a keyboard shortcut or the sideways swipe, you’ll be presented with a blank side of the screen.
How to get rid of the notifications center from the menu?
