2@Pat not really. It does not explain what are those numbers. It mentions their existence, but doesn't explain exactly what they are. The question here is VERY basic, but still a valid support request.– Shadow WizardCommented Jun 3, 2015 at 7:14

This does, right? "All reputation, privileges, and badge updates now appear under a new achievements drop-down, located next to the inbox. (Privileges and badge notifications were 85% of the notification volume). This drop-down will also incorporate reputation updates that are more detailed than we currently display, rolled up by day and post."– Patrick HofmanCommented Jun 3, 2015 at 7:15

This is the net reputation change due to the event raising the notification.
Positive change would cause the number to be green, negative change would cause a red color.
Some common examples for positive rep change: upvotes you get on your posts, answer you posted got accepted, edit you suggested was approved, etc.
Some common examples for negative rep change: downvotes you get on your posts, user was removed, bounty you started, etc.

Yes @Lschk. For example this question of yours has been voted up 9 times - you should see +45 due to this, since every question upvote is worth 5 reputation points to the author. Commented Jun 3, 2015 at 6:23
