Here is the Answer to your Question:
While working with Selenium 3.4.0, chromedriver v2.30, Google Chrome 59.0 through Java bindings, you can use the ChromeOption class to disable the "Disable Developer Mode Extensions" popup as follows:
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
public class Q44959944_dev_extn {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("start-maximized");
options.addArguments("disable-infobars");
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.navigate().to("https://google.com");
}
}

The solution provided by DebanjanB doesn't work with the latest version of Chrome and Chrome Driver.
To get this to work you need to specify the exclude switches and useAutomationExtension in the prefs flag.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", Constant.BROWSER_CHROME_PATH);
Map prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
prefs.put("profile.default_content_setting_values.geolocation", 1); // 1:allow 2:block
prefs.put("useAutomationExtension", false);
prefs.put("excludeSwitches", Collections.singletonList("enable-automation"));
ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.addArguments("-incognito");
chromeOptions.addArguments("--disable-gpu"); // applicable to windows os only
chromeOptions.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);
chromeOptions.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
wDriver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
((LocationContext)wDriver).setLocation(new Location(37.774929, -122.419416, 0));
wDrivers.put("chrome", wDriver);
log.info("New Chrome Browser Instance Created.");
