Comment (by windseeker):

 Recent state here is: Newer Plasma (maybe depending on specific QT
 version?) brings support for the legacy systray method that pidgin uses.
 Tho it does not support the way pidgin lets the icon blink, so blinking
 does not work.

 At the same time, pidgin-indicator seems to be broken with Plasma 5.6.4 It
 only shows an icon of a pidgeon head. With 5.6.5 it even got worse, it now
 cannot blink, too, so basically this plugin is useless, it just shows the
 pidgeon head icon that does not respond to any events happening.

 If pidgin developers insist to not move to SNI compatible systray icon,
 they might look into their blinking method, perhaps there is a way to work
 around this.
