I think those icons are there to show how the ambience is configured to work, but I doubt they are directly usable to activate or deactivate the feature. But you can select different ambiences with the needed features directly enabled.

They are an interesting mode to customize the phone. One of the ambiences in the nexus 5 demo has a bluetooth icon, one a silence mode, plus an "1H" badge on the right... which may mean you can "daisy chain" ambiences, or maybe make them active for a predefined time. If the notification screen can be changed depending on the active ambience as well, and the notification API becoms public, I think many applications will benefit from this.

I suppose shortcuts will be made available in the phone form factor as well, maybe it is not yet implemented.
