How to implement drag-drop onto application icon ( e.g. a droplet)

I have drag'n drop to NSViews figured out -- but I have been unable to intuit what I need to do to respond to a situation where the user drops a file or files onto my application icon, whether or not the app is running.

My application does not have its own filetype -- it processes pdf files into modified pdf files.

The application is a simple app, not technically a document-based one -- no NSDocument.

So what does NSApplication do with a file/files dropped on the icon, and how to I grab them?
