Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have a red "1" on my App Store icon, as if there were an update ready to be downloaded. But every time I check for updates, the app store says there are no new updates. Why won't the red "1" go away?
MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Some folks appear to have a bug in the Mac App Store app.
You could try reindexing your HDD. The MAS usues the Spotlight indexing in determining what apps need updating. Go to Sys Prefs/Spotlight/Privacy, add your HDD to the list then remove it from the list. Spotlight will then reindex your HDD.

Thanks Dahveed! That seems to have done the trick!
Daryl Vogel,
Hope you don't mind me linking an additional point to yours but this really looks like a long awaited solution to a nuisance problem.
Dah*veed, does this apply to all models that carry the App store, like iMacs.
Yes, all models of Macs.
Big thank you. What a relief!
How do I get rid of the red "1" on my App Store icon on the Dock?
