Yeah, if DE doesn't store notifications, the attention icon goes back to normal after the notification is destroyed.
I see that it KDE Plasma checks desktop-entry
hint to keep the notifications in history which we might need to implement i.e. as mentioned here
No notification message or icon here: Debian Bookworm, KDE Plasma 5.26.3
I experience the same problem as OP, it makes it hard to know if I have received messages while I was away on KDE 5.24.4
Currently, I have no issues with tray icon or notification messages (under Debian Testing/Trixie + KDE Plasma 5.27.9). However, I see an interesting behavior when a new message arrives - when it's in "Closed to Tray" position. A usual native notification popup windows displays the new message while the tray icon is pulsating with a red dot on its top right corner. After a while both disappear even if didn't yet open the normal app window, i.e. the tray-attention icon doesn't stay until the message is read in normal app window (probably assuming it has been read from the notification popup window?). This is a minor problem for me considering that some other WhatsApp clients are having problems showing any notification of new messages at all.
Would also like to report that when running KDE via CachyOS (so using the AUR package here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/whatsapp-for-linux) I don't get any KDE system level notifications
Description My tray icon never changes to the "attention" one and, whilst notifications do appear when messages come in, these do not appear in the notification history. I have combined these into one issue since I think these may be related. I also wonder if the lack of notifications in the history is related to KDE Plasma not keeping notifications in the history if the desktop-entry is not configured correctly (see here).
To Reproduce
Expected behavior The tray icon should change to the attention one and the notification should appear in the history.
