This should be a plugin (and hopefully don't add any complicated dependencies).
Someone needs to find out what are the "popular" (yet non-standard...) desktop APIs to achieve this. There is no such functionality in GNOME (there was one in Ubuntu's dock, Elementary/Pantheon's, etc. but I have no idea what they are).
A potential source of inspiration could be Geary, which does this in a way that works with dash-to-panel, at least. I have no idea how standard or not it is.
I think it would be great to add a task counter to permanently show the relevant or total number of tasks in the upper right corner of the icon. Both Planner (elementary OS) and plasma-applet-todolist allow to display the total number of tasks. The Telegram desktop application does it too but I find it much more useful with an actual task management software.
If implemented, a more granular control should be possible:
If toggled on, a toggle below the first toggle is automatically activated with the following two options:
Planner:
plasma-applet-todolist:
