Traditionally you use a graphics tool, create 2 different icons, then 
use the appropriate icon. This is irregardless (never should have banned 
that word!) of the graphics library you are using.

The left-handed-you-must-have-been-drunk-on-a-Tuesday method is create 
two icons of the exact same size and place them in the exact same 
position. One icon will be at least 50% transparent so when placed on 
top you can still see some of the other below.
