Get a hold of the Window object for the application tile (via [NXApp appIcon]) and draw in its content view. Under 3.0 use the NXAppTile image to assure that the standard look of the tile isn't destroyed. Even if you are writing a 2.0 app, you should still do a findImageNamed: on NXAppTile and use it if you find it; this assures that your app will do the right thing under 3.0. If you don't find the image, then you can just try to recreate the 2.0 look yourself (under 2.0 it was a much simpler image). The 3.0 AppKit release notes have more info about using NXAppTile.
