Using Kubuntu 18.04 (qt5 5.9.5), Python 3.6. I can't get this code to show the tray icon; other icons like Dropbox, etc. are shown, but this not:

import sys



from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMenu, QSystemTrayIcon, qApp, QMessageBox

from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon





def run_something():

    print("Running something...")





if __name__ == '__main__':



    print("Creating application...")

    app = QApplication(sys.argv)



    print("Creating menu...")

    menu = QMenu()

    checkAction = menu.addAction("Check Now")

    checkAction.triggered.connect(run_something)

    quitAction = menu.addAction("Quit")

    quitAction.triggered.connect(qApp.quit)



    print("Creating icon...")

    icon = QIcon.fromTheme("system-help")



    print("Creating tray...")

    trayIcon = QSystemTrayIcon(icon, app)

    trayIcon.setContextMenu(menu)



    print("Showing tray...")

    trayIcon.show()

    trayIcon.setToolTip("unko!")

    trayIcon.showMessage("hoge", "moge")



    print("Running application...")

    sys.exit(app.exec_())

The message ("hoge", "moge") is shown, but I can't find the icon anywhere... Neither in the left upper corner, as other post says.

Try PySide2. I just got PySimpleGUIQt running with QSystemTrayIcon today on Linux and Windows with PySide2. Maybe you'll have better luck there?

No idea why, but this code works, sing PySide2 (basically is the same code than above...):

import logging

import sys



from PySide2.QtGui import QIcon

from PySide2.QtWidgets import QSystemTrayIcon, QMenu, QApplication, QAction, QMessageBox





def run_something():

    print("Running something...")





def show_message():

    msg = QMessageBox()

    msg.setIcon(QMessageBox.Information)



    msg.setWindowTitle("MessageBox demo")

    msg.setText("This is a message box")



    msg.setInformativeText("This is additional information")

    msg.setDetailedText("The details are as follows:")

    msg.setStandardButtons(QMessageBox.Ok | QMessageBox.Cancel)

    msg.exec_()





def show_tray_message(tray: QSystemTrayIcon):

    tray.showMessage("Hoooo", "Message from tray")





if __name__ == '__main__':



    app = QApplication()

    app.setQuitOnLastWindowClosed(False)



    tray = QSystemTrayIcon(QIcon("acorn.png"), app)

    menu = QMenu()



    action_test = QAction("Show a message box")

    action_test.triggered.connect(show_message)

    menu.addAction(action_test)



    action_tray_message = QAction("Show a message from tray")

    action_tray_message.triggered.connect(lambda: show_tray_message(tray))

    menu.addAction(action_tray_message)



    action_exit = QAction("Exit")

    action_exit.triggered.connect(app.exit)

    menu.addAction(action_exit)



    tray.setContextMenu(menu)

    tray.setToolTip("Tool tip")

    tray.show()



    sys.exit(app.exec_())
