--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
This is unfortunately caused by design decisions of the AppImage developers.
Startup notification feedback requires that the app have a .desktop file so we
can map its icon to the executable. AppImage developers reject not only this
premise but also the entire XDG desktop file spec. As a result, the feature
does not work for AppImages.

As a workaround, you can use AppImageLauncher to generate a .desktop file for
your AppImage and provide desktop environment integration, which will make
startup feedback work.
