Launcher icons as managed by the launcher which the default launcher does not have this functionality.
I would recommend to use the notification bar and then secondary a possible widget but it wouldn’t be required.
As a note, a launcher that does have this functionality is ADW but I don’t believe there is an API for it so they would manager which notifications get displayed on which applications.
