Correct. That's part of the reason why that's not a good idea in general.
I only advise this if the notifications are substantially different. For
example, having one notification per unread email message is a poor UI.
Having one notification for unread email and one notification for unread
Twitter messages is better, though of uncertain value to the user.

You can't. The number of icons in the status bar will match the number
of icons in the notification drawer ("dropdown").
