OK.  If you'd like to fix it, edit its info.plist like this, by adding
an LSBackgroundOnly key (it's inside the application bundle) -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
     <key>LSBackgroundOnly</key>
     <string>True</string>
...

Ditto for Google Update, and anything else that's bothering you.

Yea, it's a hack.  I suppose you could send this note to Google,
but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to get it right.

And yes, you'll have to find it and click on it to bring it to the
foreground, if that's even necessary.
