This is not a solution, but a work around. The solution is to Pull the preference file then restart. ~Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist - move to trash. Restart. Issue Resolved!

That is not a solution for three reasons:
- you are unnecessarily deleting the entire preference file, when you could be deleting just the notification;
- it will re-appear when the system or the user will search for updates;
- restart is not necessary.
For such a temporary solution, use #22 :
Code:
defaults delete com.apple.systempreferences AttentionPrefBundleIDs; defaults delete com.apple.systempreferences DidShowPrefBundleIDs; killall DockIncorrect!

-It is not unnecessary, it resets the preference file after a restart. The restart is necessary for this reason.
-It does not re-appear when the system or other user searches for updates. Promise.
Huh?! It worked, so far. The nice bloke with the app he created for that, he is a nice bloke but it doesn’t work anymore, unfortunately.
I tried both methods on 3 Mac mini and one MacBook Pro, only second method worked on all. Case closed.
