HI,
I am getting alerts that my google account has been hacked and a trojan has been detected.
And as you can see below, all of that comes to me through the Mac system preferences notifications.
Should I trust it, or is it something to make you click to scan?
Is anyone getting the same messages?
I don't see anything strange in my Gmail account or system.
MacBook Air 13″

Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls ...
One place to look:
Safari>Settings>Website>Notifications> see what is here , uncheck
Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus
all known to cause issues on the macOS
Effective defenses against malware and other threats

It's a scam, but those Notifications are obviously annoying. To get rid of them please refer to this Discussion: Virus notification on MacBook Pro. - Apple Community, but if you need more specific instructions please write back.
