Notifications in status bar

[Android Central Question]

I have a Nokia 7 plus and am using notifier to give me the red badge counts as to how many notifications I've got, but im also getting the notification icons in the top status bar on the left hand side.. Is there anyway to just get the badge counts only and not the status bar notifications as well?? Im sure on my old hu a we I there was an option to not have notifications in the status bar and just badge counts only?? Any help appreciated....
