The "specific API" used by GNOME Shell is called libnotify, which was already used in GNOME 2. Ubuntu uses it for its notify-osd, and apparently it is also supported in KDE[0]. The support for status icons is considered legacy, its use is highly discouraged (and so would be the use of the KDE/Canonical replacement if support is added) - the message tray is a place to notify users about a particular event, not a taskbar replacement for applications.
