Application indicator documentation is here:

There's a fallback there so that if libappindicator isn't running your
app can just use the notification area.

http://developer.ubuntu.com is finally starting to come together,
we're hoping this will be the one stop shop for upstream app
developers.
http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/ is probably the most interesting to you.
We also have a contact us page for any application developer that
needs a direct line to an engineer if they need help:
