Facing the same issue here.

Just to note, this may not be a bug. If you want to see the Indicator tray icon in Ubuntu Bionic or any other distribution running Gnome, the Google Play Music indicator shows under the legacy indicators, meaning you need to install and activate the Gnome extension TopIcons Plus from https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1031/topicons/ . I am sure you missing several icons if you don't have this extension installed.

As @Kandelai pointed out GPMDP uses the "legacy" appindictor style tray icons, you'll probably have to install appindicator or whatever other "legacy" gnome extensions you'll need to support this

I just needed to do sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-appindicator and restart gnome.

Does anyone know of a solution for Unity? sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-appindicator does not work in that case.
