    Status: Open => Answered

Umang Jain proposed the following answer:
Ubuntu uses libappindicator [1] (which is a gnome-shell extension) for
showing tray icons. If an application has support to use that, the tray
icon should *ideally* show up in the tray-icon placeholder.

I personally use Telegram, Dropbox and Slack (.debs and also have tried
flatpak-versions of these) and it seems to work flawlessly with the
tray-icons. The tray-icons has nothing to do with GTK or gnome-shell
IMO, just need to make sure it works with [1] (which is a default gnome-
shell extension on Ubuntu)
