I found it impossible to disable update notifications for apps – notifcation centre does not provide App Store option, disabling "automatically check for updates" only disables checking for OSX updates. Is there something I'm missing or is there a way to solve it in the terminal?

When new updates are available on the Mac App Store, it doesn’t notify you at first. It waits “for a while” and then downloads them in the background. This includes ALL updates. System updates, app updates, all of them. When the download is complete and ready to be installed, that’s when it notifies you.
I have just disabled checking for updates automatically from System Preferences:
I install updates manually from App Store or with sudo softwareupdate -ia.
I tried adding this command to the root's crontab (and not restarting after updates):
0 14 * * * /usr/sbin/softwareupdate -ia
I didn't have any issues at first, but after the 10.8.3 update, Safari started crashing on launch until I restarted. After that I changed -ia to -da so the command just downloads updates. softwareupdate does not include updates for App Store applications though.
