MacOS – Remove the Notification Center icon from the Menu Bar

macos

I would like to remove the Notification Center icon like I could in Yosemite.

I'd like to not see it in the menu bar (to the right of the spotlight icon).

So you can easily disable it with

launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.notificationcenterui.plist; killall NotificationCenter

You can remove the icon with

sudo rm /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemUIServer.app/Contents/Resources/menuitemNormal.pdf

but the blank space will remain. There is an app called Bartender I've seen a few people promoting to fix this issue.
