In my case (Ubuntu 20.04.1), update-notifier was being spawned every
time I log in (regardless of my software update settings) due to this
file:
/etc/xdg/autostart/update-notifier.desktop
This file has a "X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=60", causing a 60-second delay,
so from a user's perspective it might seem like it appears randomly,
rather than being triggered due to logging in.
In case it helps someone else, you can disable this behavior by renaming
the file:
sudo mv /etc/xdg/autostart/update-notifier.desktop
/etc/xdg/autostart/update-notifier.desktop.disabled
