Numbers above the app icons in Launchpad
Hello all.
I'm new with Mac mini. I started 3 days ago. The Launchpad shows numbers above the app icons. This is irritating. How can I remove them?

When you are seeing red numbers on an app icon, the app needs your attention. There is some new content. For example, a red "1" on the Mail icon is indicating new mail, a number on the Fotos icon could signal new content in a shared album. Open the app to see what is new, and the number will go away.
Or, if you want, you can tell some apps in the "System Settings > Notifications" not to badge the app icon. See this page in the user guide: Change Notifications settings on Mac – Apple Support (UK)
"To change these settings, choose Apple menu
> System Settings, then click Notifications
in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
Badge application icon: Let the app show the number of notifications on its icon in the Dock. For example, Calendar shows a badge on its icon when you receive invitations."

Thank you for the quick response. Sorry that I didn't explain exact enough.
I added a photo from how it looks like.
Whenever I click in the Window the numbers disappear. But only for the click time.
Red numbers are known from my iPhone and iPad.
