[Bug 1586625] Re: Update notification but no update manager icon in launcher ?

[Coeur Noir]

** Description changed:

  Hi,
  
  Ubuntu 16.04 here w/ Unity
  
  I sometimes have some notification about available update for my system.
  
  But icon for update manager never automatically shows in launcher - as it used to in previous ubuntu version. (a green background icon with an A on)
  → screenshot of expected behavior http://hpics.li/4fb6d59
  
  After seeing the update notification in 16.04 one has to manually run
  update-manager or synaptic.
  
  Is this intended behavior ?
