I wish to see in a future update for boinc an option to disable notifications.
I like having my windows task bar hidden.
When ever there is a notification the task bar un-hides and will not hide again.
I have to reboot to solve the problem, but when I launch boinc, problem back.

Disabling will never happen.
But you can run BOINC without the GUI (BOINC Manager). Just start like this: "c:/program files/boinc/boinc.exe --detach" .. the --detach closes the command line window. You can put this line in a shortcut and start the shortcut at Windows start. That will only start BOINC, not BOINC Manager.

Edit 1: Mind, I see that at the Seti boards they answered you to set the Notification reminder to never. As far as I know, this will not stop notification pop-ups, it will just not show them repeatedly until you go check the notification. Each time you start Windows, and BOINC starts you will have at least the one reminder pop-up.

Really disabling them would require an older BOINC Manager version, or Fred's alternate manager, BOINCTasks.

Edit 2: Hmmm, I just noticed that setting the reminder option on Notifications to Never does not give you a pop-up ever. Wonder when that changed. ;-)

You may give BoincTasks a try.

Extra->BoincTasks settings->Notices. Remove the check at "Show alert every"
