Good news, everyone! Android (as of 4.1 Jelly Bean) lets you disable notifications on a per-app basis. I'm surprised no one has mentioned this on this thread yet. You'll miss the "it's your turn to Draw Something!" notifications, but, c'mon, will you really miss them?

Settings -> Apps -> Draw Something -> uncheck "Show notifications"

Too bad that does not work for Play Store. I'd like a way to avoid getting a notification every time I install an app.
