I got it to work. There's a few command line utils for working with desktop entires.

  1. Install the desktop-file-utils package:
    sudo pacman -S desktop-file-utils

  2. Validate that the .desktop file meets freedesktop's current spec:
    desktop-file-validate [path]

  3. Install .desktop file:
    desktop-file-install --dir=[destination path] [desktop file]

  4. Update local desktop entry DB
    update-desktop-database [destination path]

I've made a script to do this. You can find it below
