And for a code example:

$iconRegistry = 
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::makeInstance(\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Imaging\IconRegistry::class);
$iconRegistry->registerIcon(
   'tcarecords-pages-contains-myext',
   \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Imaging\IconProvider\BitmapIconProvider::class,
   ['source' => 'EXT:my_ext/ext_icon.gif']
);

$GLOBALS['TCA']['pages]['ctrl']['typeicon_classes']['contains-myext'] = 
'tcarecords-pages-contains-myext';

Once you've registered an icon under a certain ID you can use it in a 
lot of places by just referring to that name.
