In a layout I need to display number of notifications.
what is the right way of doing it? I'm thinking to create a widget for it but is accessing DB while rendering view correct?

Yes, it is ok to create a widget for this needs.
After done, it is ok to call it from layout.
You can even use caching in order not to bother DB too often.

Finally: I would recommend writing widget and using it with fragmental caching.
