Welcome to Android Central! That's a built-in function, showing how many unread emails you have. Not sure if you can turn it off--try opening the Email app, tap Menu>Settings, and look through its settings for any option to turn it off.

If you really don't like it, install an alternative launcher like Nova Launcher or Google Now Launcher.
