Type chrome://flags into the URL bar
Search (Ctrl-F) for "Enable Rich Notifications"
Make sure it's set to "Disabled"
Search for (Ctrl-F) "Enable Experimental UI for Notifications"
Make sure it's set to "Disabled"
Search for (Ctrl-F) "Google Now"
Make sure it's set to "Disabled"
Click the "Relaunch Chrome" button at the bottom
Rinse and repeat every time Google pushes a background update to your browser that turns it all back on

Also, you should probably do yourself a favour and uncheck the "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed" box in the Settings menu.

Remember when we all switched to Chrome because it was the cleanest-running browser that used the least resources, and didn't have a history of running a bunch of crap in the background that we didn't need?

Those were the days...
