Requires root
Firstly go into settings > more > about device > software update, and disable the Auto Update option.
Use an auto start or boot manager to disable both processes for "Software Update". You may need select a setting to show system apps on your list.
This should cause the system to not check if there is a downloaded OTA update on your phone.
Note: If you have more than one Software Update app then open the notification in your notification bar and postpone the update further and go back to your boot manager to check which of your Software Update apps were running. This is the one you will need to disable.
Should you need to install the OTA update later, go into the Software Update settings and click check for update OR go back to your boot manager and enable the processes again and reboot.

Finally I found a way to disable gingerbread system update notification which is annoying to the user specifically with an non rootable update like .62,
Use Rom Toolbox app or any other app that has the capability to disable an application to freeze the system update application then reboot the device, the notification will disappear.
Zoubir,

Out of nowhere today I installed an apk and somehow it didn't ask for permission to install or cancel. at the Notification bar there is a message that says: ES APP MANAGER and the icon is two gears, the apk installs automatically and there is not window asking for permission. All subsequent apk's install this way. very dangerous.
How do I troubleshoot this issue? .. I went to tablet settings applications (ICS 4.0.3) and I don't see any app with that above name.
Help is appreciated, regards.
EDIT. Found the culprit. it's the new version of ES File Explorer 1.6.2.4.a

Unknown sources or /system/app
To avoid unknown app installs from links etc., Go to Settings -> Security -> uncheck the Unknown Sources.
If you are using a rooted device, you may have pushed an apk into /system/app which can install and delete apps from your device without your permission.
I am getting this exact screen from multiple days on my Moto G ....Any one else seeing this in India or elsewhere?
I saw this when I installed an adblocker app that set up a proxy. Checking for updates did not work through the proxy. Have you installed an adblocker or anything else that messes with the network connection?
It's possible to add an exception to adblockers for the motorola update site, but I don't remember what the site was - you'd have to search for it.
Yep I had that issue when I was on Stock ROM.
Here's what I'd do to temporarily fix it (meaning you'll have to do it each time):
Go to Motorola Device ID > Options > Unlink Account.
It'll warn you but don't worry about that. Immediately after you confirm the action, go to Settings via the Quick Settings panel and then to About Phone > System Updates.
And voila! It should check for updates successfully.

That worked, Thanks! No update was available yet but waiting patiently for Lollipop
I am happily running lolipop 5.0.2 but I have an annoying system upgrade notification icon sitting on the status that I can't make go away.
I have software updates set to 'Do not update automatically'
I've tried 3C Toolkit and unchecked the system update service in Google Play Framework as well as Do not display notifications for Google Play Services not neither works.
Any suggestions as to how I can remove the icon and notification please?

what app is that? There is an UpdateCenter.apk at the address yo-u mention but in TB the only update center mentioned is the update service, no app. What am I supposed to uninstall?

reboot after uninstall
Easiest way is to simply install Autostarts off f-droid-(free apk not on play store). It has two options. By name or by action. Using both, disable whatever you want. I uninstall myexperia using Amaze file manager and simply disable updater. Though uninstalling it too wouldn't hurt either.
I downloaded and installed the new OTA update that showed up this morning. Since then I haven't been able to open the settings panel.
When I click on settings it closes immediately the I get a notification saying that "settings keeps closing".
Any help?
Me too ... thank you Samsung for this bullsh.. !
