I've got this working, though i still need to paste it into every widget.

@GoldenChaos:

I made a listener widget that never shows itself but is active in the background.

Insert it with the Notification Widgets.  
Here's it's JSON:

Wrap all the code in each notification widget with:

```auto
tell application "BetterTouchTool" to set this_DNDStatus to get_string_variable "DNDStatus"
if this_DNDStatus is "OFF" then

-- Existing Widget Code here --

else --if DND is ON, prevent show badge.
    return ""
end if
```

Hope that's helpful!
