Original answer provided by Vincent:

These are provided by notify-osd, which you can uninstall. You might
also want to check the autostarted applications for e.g. the update
notifier which you can then disable to speed up Xubuntu.

Note that if you uninstall notify-osd, you will get no notifications at
all, from any application that uses libnotify.

This is the only way way I know of to turn them off. Most of us just
ignore them instead of turning off all the notices, because some of the
notices are important.
