Is it possible for me to add a system tray for my app?

I'd like to show in the tray bar if something is running background.
Thanks in advance :)

I think I can't add any icon from my app to the system tray, but identified that I can change the collor of it...

Thought about close this topic... Can't I? :p

The link above is a fine resource for making your own progress bar in the app itself, but if you want to indicate a background task, WP Silverlight exposes the system tray progress bar for your use. Note that the API has changed a bit for 8.1 XAML apps.

You can't add icons to the tray, but the above method will allow you to add a custom text message. You cannot alter the status bar outside of your own application, however.
