Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Especially when using multiple accounts or beeing part of group conversations without notification, you cannot see whether there are unread messages somewhere (you have to switch through all account's to double check).
Describe the solution you'd like
The app icon of talk should show that there are unread messages (typically mail and chat apps use such indicators... ideally with indicating the numer of unread messages).
Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively or additionally there should be an indication for the account switch icon within the app to indicate that there are unread messages for other accounts.
Additional context
none.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating unread-message handling and the account switch UI, then investigate how Android app-icon indicators could represent unread messages across accounts. Done means the app icon, and possibly the account switch indicator, clearly reflects unread messages without requiring users to check each account.
