I use the web-based console of the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to do debugging or testing tasks that might fail (the others are automated with the gcloud CLI). As a consequence, I have a growing list of failed tasks. Each one increments the counter of the alert badge on my notifications icon in the upper right. That is annoying. More importantly, I am never sure whether a recent issue came up ("was the counter 934 or 933 before?").
My question: how can I clear the notifications? I can't find a button in the pop-up, nor in the activity overview. A screenshot of the pop-up is linked here. In the upper right one can see the red 8 indicating that a total of 8 tasks failed in the past.

There is now a "CLEAR" button under Filters in the Activity tab (under Home -> ACTIVITY -> FILTER).
That seemed to work for me to remove the notification count from the bell icon in the top bar. The notifications are still listed, but the count is gone.
