Re: [w3c/manifest] Ability to dynamically change app icon (#663)

An idea is that PWAs could propagate an icon update via service worker, but with a cooldown of a couple seconds or minutes to avoid "moving images".

Another idea is instead of just propagating an icon update, service workers could have to whole manifest update, removing the need to prompt for a name update or have icons be generated on a server.

For example, in a calendar app, you could have icons stored at /path/{dayOfTheMonthGoesHere}.png, and every day the path(s) for the icon in the manifest would change.

OR, even better perhaps, you could manually change the icon right from a service worker, overriding what a manifest says.
