I was delighted to learn about the demands_attention flag as explained here: Is there any way to initiate "urgent animation" of an icon on the Unity launcher from command line?

However, that notification is very brief - meaning I won't notice when I step away from the keyboard for a minute.

Is there a way to make that notification persistent so the icon is animated until the respective window is focused again?

Turns out this isn't required; setting the demands_attention flag already adds a subtle indicator (blue triangle) to the very top left, which disappears when the respective window is focused again.
