Actually I did it this way.

Ok. go to system  prefs then notification button. then  to the applications 
table. 

 go to for example game center then stop interacting.

 then go to  Show in Notification Center:  check box and uncheck it.  if ou 
don't want to have it in the notifications center. Repeat for each app you 
don't want there.  Now close system prefs and  there you go
