Do you mean you're having trouble getting a page action to show up on the
new tab page, but only the new tab page? Having something like the following
in your background page should do the trick:
<script>
function showOrHide(tab) {
if (tab.url == "chrome://newtab/") {
chrome.pageAction.show(tab.id);
} else {
chrome.pageAction.hide(tab.id);
}
}
chrome.tabs.onCreated.addListener(showOrHide);
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function(tabid, changeinfo, tab) {
showOrHide(tab);
});
</script>
