That's this:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746027
However, I'm not sure whether the updated package is already in F22 or not. Could you
provide your gnome-shell version in that bug report and ask whether it should be fixed in
it or not yet? Maybe they have missed some corner cases.
That ticket talks about dismissing/closing notifications, which may be
something completely different.
I'm not a fan of the current notification system. Typically I don't
notice the small circle right of the date. I don't think I closed/dismissed
notifications before they would come back after reboot. I likely didn't
open them. They become stale, apparently don't expire, and nothing checks
whether they are still current?
Just some minutes ago, I noticed the circle, clicked on it:
Software Updates available, but the started gnome-software claims
"""Software is up to date (Last checked: 12:41)""".
Meanwhile, running "dnf update" shows 64 new packages.
Guys, that smells like major breakage in several areas to me. The last
update with dnf was run on 2015-04-24, so what does the notification
refer to?
I take it there is no history feature available in gnome-software?

Can you please file a bug against gnome-software, in GNOME Bugzilla? I have discussed
this with Matthias Clasen, he says the notifications should carry a hint to the program in
question and open the correct part of the program. In case of gnome-software, you should
see an upgrade results overview (with the same output as in `pkcon offline-status`),
instead of just opening the app in the default view. It's a bug.
Usually I'm too late filing such tickets and developers are aware of
the problem already, use something newer, while Fedora has included
broken releases. Anyway, I've opened 748582 and 748583.
