Solution 1:
I was able to fix the issue by installing appindicator extention
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/
Solution 2:
I had the same problem with all tray icons in Ubuntu 18.04.
What worked for me was disabling Ubuntu appindicators extension using gnome-tweak-tool. I then ran sudo apt purge indicator-common
in a shell, re-enabled Ubuntu appindicators and rebooted my PC.
All the tray icons were back!
