Umm, it's basically a glorified 8x8 RGB LED matrix. They give you a very nice "driver" library, allowing you to simply address the LEDs as X-Y with R/G/B values. You even have example code on displaying lots of different math-based patterns, or even a small graphic file. You can't really expect a sample Android notifier application too...
Conceptually, you could easily scale your notification from one single-color LED to an 8x8 RGB matrix like the Unicorn hat. So I don't know why you thought this was the tool to start learning Python with.
I recommend you start off with a good introductory book, such as Programming a Raspberry Pi: Getting Started with Python. Whenever a project in the book talks about connecting an LED to GPIO, you may skip that and use your Unicorn Hat instead.

I find I learn a new language better when I have some goal to tinker with along the way, like playing with a Raspberry Pi. :)
