Unfortunately you cannot add applets from the command line. This is
one of the most annoying design issues with the current panel
architecture.

The only solution I can propose would require some hacking - creating
a notification area application which would embed the indicator widget
(available from libgnomekbd). It is a low-to-medium complexity task
for C developer.
