If you go here [1] and download Deskbar-Applet 2.30.0, once extracted
go to deskbar handlers and look at recent.py it may give you some
ideas.
class RecentHandler(deskbar.interfaces.Module):
INFOS = {'icon': deskbar.core.Utils.load_icon('document-open-recent'),
"name": _("Recent Documents"),
"description": _("Retrieve your recently accessed files
and locations"),
"version": VERSION}
