Getting rid of notifications for iOS 6 apps on iPad 1

It's a minor thing, but I'm getting tired of seeing the little red number on the side of the App Store icon. Things like Cooking Mama Seasons require iOS 6.0 or later, but the iPad 1 can't get later iOS updates. So they are notifying me that they are due for update, but they can't be updated.


Is there any way to get rid of this notification other than deleting the app?

iPad, iOS 5.1.1
