It looks like this bug is about the Desktop link, and it's probably fixed with
bug #1732482.
However, unfortunately, a PWA installed using the Chromium snap is not
integrated into the Gnome desktop as well as one installed using Google Chrome.
As reported, the Icon path doesn't work, for which there is a manual
workaround, and you can't pin the PWA to the launcher.
When I have time I'll open 2 new bugs (one for the icon, and another one for
the app integration)

Title:
Desktop link for Progressive Web Apps incorrect
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Since the change to a Snap package, PWA "add to homescreen" (A2HS)
does not seem to be working.
I am using Xubuntu 19.10
A link is created on the desktop with the app name, but the icon is a
generic one and clicking on the link just brings up a blank Chromium
page.
I tested it from my own PWA to start with, but to check it is a
generic problem I used the MDN PWA page:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Add_to_home_screen
which has a PWA demo app called "Awesome Fox Pictures". If you open
the live demo page:
https://mdn.github.io/pwa-examples/a2hs/
you should be able to add the app to your desktop, but this creates
the broken link I described.
