EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue:

The Akeeba Backup Notification Quick Icon is causing an error and thus disabling itself in version 4.1.0.rc3 of akeeba backup professional.

this is because on line 203 of 
administrator/components/com_akeeba/engine/Platform.php
you have the path 
__DIR__ . '/Platform'
whereas you need 
__DIR__ . '/../platform'
.

I applied this change and the icon works again.

No, that part of the code is correct – the Engine is designed to run inside other software, not just Akeeba Backup for Joomla!. The plugin needs to push the directory to the joomla25 platform implementation to the Engine:
Platform::addPlatform('joomla25', JPATH_COMPONENT_ADMINISTRATOR . '/platform/joomla25');

This populates the static variable \Akeeba'Engine\Platform::$knownPlatformsDirectories, therefore the if-block you are referring to does not load. This is what we're already doing in dispatcher.php in the front-end and back-end.

You were very close, but thank you for the heads up! I know where to look now. The next version will include the bug fix.
