If we do it at the Unity level, then it's one-progress-per-app, and I
agree with your 5, the App should decide which progress to show, or

Not unreasonable at all; it is a limited space we're working with, and you don't want to inundate the user with information overload. This is supposed to be a quick reference to see when an app is done something, not an overall system progress monitor.
