I just helped someone with this issue so I thought I'd post this to help anyone having the same issue as there seems to be no question here about it.

Issue: in the Notification area of the desktop you will get a notification about an available update but opening Discover or even using apt or apt-get from the command line will show you that your system is up to date.

Upon opening KDE's Discover you will see this

apt updates kubuntu kde flatpak

  ok so why the close vote? yes this question is related to a bug but not about the bug itself. It is how to resolve the effects of the bug. It about an Ubuntu official flavor and help to answer the question about why there is a "phantom" update. If this question was here the person I help fix the issue (who uses Kubuntu btw) might not have had to ask for help on a completely unrelated Discord channel.

  HELLO CLOSE VOTERS!!! This is NOT a bug report so quit voting to close it as such It is not about a development version of Ubuntu it is about an officially supported flavor This is about a real life case of an issue that is not limited to one narrow case, it can affect anyone using Kubutnu Just because the answer refers to a bug it does not automatically make it off topic

This is a known bug with Plasma that is reported to be fixed in Plasma 5.16.0,

Kubuntu 19.04 is currently running 5.15.4 so you may encounter this annoying bug.

The bug is related to flatpaks. If you have flatpaks enabled in KDE's Discover, at least some packages are not update-able via Discover.

It's easily fixed in the terminal by running

flatpak update

this will update the outdated flatpak that Discover was unable to update and should make your persistent notification about a "phantom" update go away.

In this case the flatpak affected was a nvidia driver but the bug reports mention others as well.

  Re. "Kubuntu 19.04 is currently running 5.15.4 so you may encounter this annoying bug.", I feel that if users are on 19.04, they could be advised to use the kubuntu backports ppa which would update their systems to Plasma 5.16.5 (currently).
