Hello:
Sorry to insist, but is there any way to recover this indicator?
Can you be more specific? Are you referring to some mail client notification on how many new emails are in your inbox? I suspet it might be application specific. Some more details would be useful to give an appropriate answer!
@swarfendor437, I believe @alexandros might be talking about the indicator on the files folder - which seems to indicate the progress of an on-going file operation.
My basis for assumption is that the Telegram application (blue arrow w/count 21) provides a built-in, easily configurable (toggle-able) notification counter function. Also, there doesn't seem to be any other type of indicator in the image of the panel.

Something else that might be helpful in determining the answer to a question of a progress bar for launcher/dash icons: from where did you obtain that screenshot?
Is it a screenshot of the Zorin/Gnome DE? Or did the screenshot come from an older version of Zorin, which might have had the Unity DE installed?
Hello:
I'm just referring to the taskbar-indicators present in Zorin Os 16. It is that folder where a progress bar is visible when one is copying a file, for example.
I have not been able to find it in Zorin Os 17.

On the basis that "a picture is worth a thousand words", I have edited a copy of your screenshot, to highlight the progress bar indicator concerned. I hope that is right.

I don't understand what alexandros means with recovering that indicator, it's normal to see it as ajo001 explained. But of course it's not if there's not really a process going on.
Is it normal though? I only ask because I don't remember ever seeing it. Then again I've been using the Gnome DE and haven't played around with many others, including Unity-based ones.
I don't know much about DEs and could be missing something key here, but based on my searches, that progress bar feature seems married with Unity-based DEs.
Only went this far because I don't remember seeing it, and it looks like something I'd be interested in making happen for my desktop. I like these types of aesthetic but useful tweaks.

Don't know, probably it is since that way you can see the progress status even when the file manager is minimized or covered by other windows. For me that's not necessary so I never watched it to see if that progress bar appears 
.
Wow! It is there!
Never noticed that before in ZOS16. Probably because I keep my launcher icons so small... But it definitely is there in my ZOS17 after starting a brief file-move operation.
I wonder why OP isn't seeing that anymore? I should note that I am running ZOS17 Pro.

I think that the progress bar component is broken or missing. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's just transparent, so present but not visible.
Yes, the progress indicator is included in Zorin OS 16 Core.
I have not yet tested this on Zorin OS 17 Core. It can be tested by running a "Move file" (large enough that it takes long enough to spot that progress bar) in Nautilus (Files) app.
I'm running Z17 as a VM and it is showing in the VM:
