After you click the gear icon on STEP 2, a new pop up window will open with all of your Notification Settings. In Notification Settings you can choose whether or not to receive DSM desktop notifications for each service. For example, you can deactivate all Docker notifications, all Active Backup for Business notifications etc. After checking or unchecking services, just click OK to confirm your choice.

Note: The option to disable Docker notifications is available only on DSM 7.
