It result that doesn't matter if the application can find the icon,
because the systray is *other* app.
But setting the icon theme path (globally or for the indicator), using a
*full path*, works.
I finally did:
ind = appindicator.Indicator.new("example", "",
appindicator.IndicatorCategory.APPLICATION_STATUS)
ind.set_icon_theme_path("/home/facundo/temp/bugappind/")
ind.set_icon("nice-test-icon")
Marking this as invalid.

Title:
appindicator does not use custom icon
Status in “pygobject” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I have the following code snipet where I use a custom icon (see the
'assert', the icon *is there* in the theme), but then appindicator
doesn't really use it.
I put a commented out line for you to try it and see that the rest of
the code is OK... if you use the icon name "indicator-messages", all
works ok... if you use "nice-test-icon", it won't show the icon in the
systray, :(
Here's the code for a quick look, attached is a zip with both the code
and the icon (a standard 16px PNG that I use in other project to put
it in a systray, in gtk2 from python).
Thanks for the help!!
"""
from gi.repository import Gtk
from gi.repository import AppIndicator3 as appindicator
# add the icon
icons = Gtk.IconTheme.get_default()
icons.append_search_path(".")
assert icons.has_icon("nice-test-icon")
# indicator
#ind = appindicator.Indicator.new("example", "indicator-messages",
ind = appindicator.Indicator.new("example", "nice-test-icon",
appindicator.IndicatorCategory.APPLICATION_STATUS)
ind.set_status(appindicator.IndicatorStatus.ACTIVE)
# create a menu
menu = Gtk.Menu()
menu_items = Gtk.MenuItem("quit")
menu.append(menu_items)
menu_items.connect("activate", lambda *a: Gtk.main_quit(), "quit")
menu_items.show()
ind.set_menu(menu)
