Pidgin hasn't been ported to the new indicator-messages API yet, this is bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-indicator/+bug/1040259

The system tray icon should work as a workaround, however in Unity, Pidgin must be whitelisted before it will appear. Something like:

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'Update-notifier', 'Pidgin']"

should work, though you may want to see what your current value is before appending Pidgin to the end, so that you don't lose any other status icons.
