I have NO intention of upgrading to 10.15. What I would like to do is not have my software update constantly "saying" that I have an update. Ideas on how to turn it off?
Got a tip for us?

In the past I have used a right click on an update, I think it was, and chose the hide it option, perhaps this still exists.
terminal: sudo softwareupdate --ignore "macOS Catalina"
trun it back: sudo softwareupdate --reset-ignored
trun it back: sudo softwareupdate --reset-ignored
Indeed was just going to post this after reading this page.
How to Hide MacOS Catalina from Software Update on Mac
Want to stop MacOS Catalina showing up in Software Updates on a Mac? Don’t plan on updating to MacOS Catalina anytime soon? Still up in the air about whether or not to update to MacOS Catalin…

Would this command also work for the more mundane updates such as iTunes, Safari etc?
If that all concerns you just open software update >> advanced and uncheck "Check for updates", and close
This fixed everything, till you manually check. I may go back to Mojave because wine ports (32-bit) Wine games i use are far better performing than running under Fusion. and since I did this with intention not just to throw them out.. i find it more of importance.

I tried the Terminal command above (using Copy-Paste) but the notification didn't go away, even after a Restart. When I open the Software Update pane, the spinning icon appears, and after a short interval a message comes up saying that my Mac is up to date. The badge remains.
Same here (iMac Pro 10.14.6). Very odd. I took Sys Prefs out of the dock, so as not to be annoyed.
