A sure way to stop getting messages about security updates or OS updates ready to download/install, you have to disable the ‘Motorola update services’ app because that is what you see displaying these messages.
You cannot do this through the menus on the phone, the disabled button is grayed out.
You have to enable developer options within settings and then within that, enable USB debugging. This is done so you can tether the Motorola phone to a PC. USB mode has to be in photo sharing mode, not file transfer mode.
Get Android SDK tools so you can run the ADB command from a DOS window. It's around a 25 MB download in a zip file.
Then open up a command prompt with administrative privileges. Type adb devices to make sure it sees the phone. If not, you need to acknowledge a request on the phone that should pop up.
Next, type, adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.motorola.ccc.ota ,,,, that's it you are done. You can go back into settings and your full list of apps and you will see that Motorola update services is now disabled!
Now you will no longer have that pesky OS update notification every 24 hours like I did because my phone was unlocked.

Found this by dumb luck: Under settings/apps click the three dots in the top right corner then select see all apps. You'll find the download app hidden there. I just disabled it so can't tell you if it worked or not, but sure hope so. (There is also a Moto Download App but it WON"T let you disable .) The constant downloads are ANNOYING!

For my Motorola E6 play I found it under: Settings --> Apps and Notifications --> Show All Apps --> Press 3 Dots in upper right corner --> Show System --> Motorola Update --> Inactivate
Breathe a sigh of relief
This was driving me crazy. It's incredible how many hidden system apps that run in the background. No wonder the phone is super slow
Really crappy design. On the other hand they are probably available very cheap since most people are not willing to do the hard work. I bought mine very cheap, and it took me a good while to block and inactivate all crap (what's possible). I also learned that most power of phone goes into background programs that does things that very few knows. It would not surprise me if there is another hidden layer of background programs. A bit horrifying and it should definitely not be this way. It's very big brother and collect all your data -ish. Imagine all that goes on in the background of a new "premium" high end phone.
