How can I remove the red "bubble" number on the screen?

I don't want to continually see the number of emails that is on the front screen. It adds my two email accounts and the number is so high it catches attention. Can I simply remove the number from the screen? The number appears in a red "bubble". This also occurs for text messages too.
