You might not need this plugin. Its core job is small enough to live in your theme's functions.php.

Show the snippet

add_action( 'admin_head', function () {
    if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
        remove_all_actions( 'admin_notices' );
        remove_all_actions( 'all_admin_notices' );
        add_filter( 'site_transient_update_plugins', '__return_false' );
        add_filter( 'site_transient_update_themes',  '__return_false' );
    }
} );

Keep in mind:This snippet hides notices and update signals from non-admins only; adjust the capability check or remove the condition to affect all users.
