Aurelien Gateau will know all about it and he's briefed d_ed but I
expect it's the telepathy backend which talks to the message indicator
plasmoid (or equivalent in Unity) and that'll have a rule to show an
app icon when it gets a notification from Telepathy.

That might be another possibility yes, doing it in the ktp-approver rather than in the telepathy backend.  Aurelien Gateau will know all.
