I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 22.10 to Ubuntu 23.04 and it seems nice. The only thing I do not like is the new emblem which counts the notifications. Is it possible to remove it but keep the notifications in the notification area?

Yes this is possible. Just open up a terminal and type gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock show-icons-emblems false

The existing answer will work, and is the correct answer to this question. There appears to now be a better possibility, especially for another question which is currently marked as a duplicate:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock application-counter-overrides-notifications true then gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock show-icons-notifications-counter false

Alternatively via GUI:

  1. Install Extension Manager apt install gnome-shell-extension-manager
  2. In Extension Manager, click on the settings button next to Ubuntu Dock.
  3. Select the launchers tab
  4. Under "Show icons emblem", make sure that the option Show the number of unread notifications in icons is deselected and Application-provided counter overrides the notification counter is ticked.
