I need an applet that can count up to specific number of days. I'm currently using the 'alarm-clock-applet' from Software Center but it can only count up to 24 hours. I need a countdown timer in Days which will be visible on top notification area along with regular clock.

Edit: This is now obsolete, an extension has been written for this: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/153/nothingtodo/
There's no configuration value for this, it's hard-coded in at the moment, but it's easy enough to change:
gksudo gedit /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/panel.js
Find the line that reads:
this._dateMenu = new DateMenu.DateMenuButton({ showEvents: true });
And simply change true to false
Then restart GNOME Shell by pressing Alt-F2 and entering r

A crude generic solution:
How to disable notification from network-manager.
dbus-monitor "interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications'" \
| grep --line-buffered 'string "NetworkManager"' \
| sed -u -e 's/.*/killall notify-osd/g' \
| bash
Replace string "NetworkManager" with the desired RE to filter out messages.
To get an idea of what RE pattern match to look for run:
dbus-monitor "interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications'"
and look at the output while the notifications are popping-up.
Caveat:
killall notify-osd is non-discriminating and completely wipes the notification stack of any pending messages irregardless of whether NM is the notifying agent.
