I'm marking this as a duplicate of bug 1592382 since that bug is the
tracking bug for the Stable Release Update that should stop gnome-
software from showing update notifications.

  Gnome Software ignores software-properties-gtk "When there are other

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu 16.04, using gnome-software 3.20.1+git20160426.1.a976144
  -ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu1

  software-properties-gtk has a setting for "When there are other
  updates" besides security updates. Setting this to "Display every two
  weeks" should prevent all non-security update notifications from
  bothering the user more often than every two weeks.

  gnome-software categorizes some non-security updates as "OS Updates"
  and every day it displays the pop-up message "Software Updates
  Available Important OS and application updates are ready to be
  installed."
