This bug also affects me. I am using a Fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04
64-bit (With separate /home partition from 13.10 install reused)

Empathy simply is not integrated with the messaging menu. All that is
there is the Empathy list entry below the statuses, which does nothing.

Even when I manually run it, no 'running' dot appears, and the messaging
status remains Offline, despite Empathy being Available, and connected.

Closing Empathy, and clicking Empathy in the messaging menu also does
nothing. Minimising it seems to work OK, though that is the same as
Pidgin without the bug-ridden libnotify plugin that integrates it.

Is there something that links Empathy to the messaging indicator missing
perhaps?

Title:
  14.04 Unity integration with messaging applications not fully working.

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On the three 14.04 installs I've done, I've noticed this same
  situation come up. As seen in the screenshot below, when you receive
  an instant message you get a number on top of the messaging
  application in the Unity bar. This isn't the case in 14.04.

  With both Pidgin and Empathy (using Google Talk), I do not receive the
  number on the icon to indicate how many new messages I have. With
  Empathy in particular I did notice that brand new conversations do
  list a "1" there, but once I engage in conversation and later
  background Empathy, new messages do not put a number on the icon to
  indicate that I have unread messages. In prior releases of Ubuntu,
  this seemed to always work.

  Thank you for your time!
