I am experiencing a strange problem: after I installed a bunch of updates, the Mac AppStore badge was not reset. When I go to "Updates", I get the message "no updates available".
I tried to
- delete the AppStore cookie
- rebuild the Spotlight index (found a recommendation to do so somewhere)
- logged out and in the AppStore
- delete some of the updated Apps and re-installed them
without any effect. Today, I got an update for another application; the update count was incremented and was not reset again.
Any ideas?

Rather than rebooting, you can just type
killall Dock
from your terminal application. It will reset the dock and clear the badges.
