Under normal conditions, a Windows Service does not interact with the Desktop
or show any visible UI elements. So the short answer is, no. There are ways
around this, but in general, if you don't understand why it doesn't work at
this point, it's better not to try and use them. A service is designed to
start with the OS before any user is logged in to see the notifyIcon anyway.

Hello:
Does somebody know if NotifyIcon work with service app.
I have exactly the same code that displays balloon in Windows appl,
but doesn't display ballon when called from service.OnStart().
Service is LocalSystem and manual.
thank you,
