Because I am am seeing the same on Chrome -- not Chromium -- and my
Chrome was not installed via snap.
That said, playing with this a little, I found that right clicking on
the desktop icon there is an option "Allow Launch", and after clicking
that the PWA launches and works. But the icon still is not correct. The
PWA sets an appropriate icon in its manifest.
Not, the menu option "Allow Launch" is not the same as giving execute
permission. The installation of the PWA did set "Execute" permission.
The "allow launch" is a permission above and beyond file system
permissions.

Title:
Desktop link for Progressive Web Apps incorrect
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Since the change to a Snap package, PWA "add to homescreen" (A2HS)
does not seem to be working.
I am using Xubuntu 19.10
A link is created on the desktop with the app name, but the icon is a
generic one and clicking on the link just brings up a blank Chromium
page.
I tested it from my own PWA to start with, but to check it is a
generic problem I used the MDN PWA page:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Add_to_home_screen
which has a PWA demo app called "Awesome Fox Pictures". If you open
the live demo page:
https://mdn.github.io/pwa-examples/a2hs/
you should be able to add the app to your desktop, but this creates
the broken link I described.
