How do you disable Email Notification on adding a comment to a issue programatically?

Answer

Note: This answer applies to JIRA v3.6 but may also be relevant to other versions.

Set the dispatchEvent key-value pair to false.

Map parameters = EasyMap.build("issue", issue.getGenericValue(),
                     "remoteUser", remoteUser,
                     "body", comment,
                     "dispatchEvent", new Boolean(false),
                     "timestamp", new java.util.Date(System.currentTimeMillis()));
    ActionResult aResult = CoreFactory.getActionDispatcher().execute(ActionNames.COMMENT_CREATE, parameters);
    ActionUtils.checkForErrors(aResult);
