When I have apps that need updating in OSX I get a notification on the top-right corner of my screen that does not go away until I click it (which opens the app-store). Is there a way to turn these notifications off?

You can now simply go to System Preferences > App Store, and turn off "Automatically check for updates."
No messing with firewalls, and just works with App Store. So just remember to check every now and then manually to find out when you have updates!
Its hard for me to test, but I believe if you set the alert type to banners, and then un-tick the show in notification center then it shouldn't show the count.
- Open System Preferences > Notifications
- Select the desired app from the list
- Select 'Banners' as the alert style
- Un-tick the option
Show in Notificaion Center: X Recent Items

If the App store doesn't know about updates it should not be able to notify you - so within System Preferences go into the "App Store" preference pane and deactivate the option to search for updates automatically.
