How to display current window to notification bar NOT HIDE in WPF

Question

I've created one WPF application. It has one window and it's hide on close button. But i want to show it in notification-bar. and when user click on that then windows should display.

Here is my code:

public MainWindow()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    System.Timers.Timer aTimer = new System.Timers.Timer();
    aTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(Timer_Elapsed);
    aTimer.Interval = 3000;
    aTimer.Enabled = true;

}

private void Timer_Elapsed(object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
    lblProcess.Content = "Test Window"

}

// minimize to system tray when applicaiton is closed
protected override void OnClosing(CancelEventArgs e)
{
    // setting cancel to true will cancel the close request
    // so the application is not closed
    e.Cancel = true;

    this.Hide();
    //this.Show();

    base.OnClosing(e);
}

I've already read this: create-popup-toaster-notifications-in-windows-with-net

And minimizing-application-to-system-tray-using-wpf-not-using-notifyicon

minimizing-closing-application-to-system-tray-using-wpf

But didn't get you how can i do this?

Any help appreciated!

@ManfredRadlwimmer, Have to read my question? Please read it first. I want to show this in notification — Barry Allen, Sep 28 '16 at 09:01
Yes, I read your question. The posts you linked yourself contain all the info you need.

@ManfredRadlwimmer, It's about to hide window, that i did, **I WANT IN NOTIFICATION** — Barry Allen, Sep 28 '16 at 09:07

@user6689472 Then you should clarify your question. "I WANT IN NOTIFICATION" - what do you want in the notification? Your code simply contains a `ListProcesses();`. What is it you want to show? "But i want to show it in notification-bar.". Rephrase your question to make sense and someone might be able to help you. — Manfred Radlwimmer, Sep 28 '16 at 09:21
Dear @ManfredRadlwimmer if you read the question carefully then must read this line **. It has one window and it's hide on close button. But i want to show it in notification-bar.** this is a second sentence of my question. — Barry Allen, Sep 28 '16 at 09:24
*Rephrase your question to make sense and someone might be able to help you* It's make sense if you take a few minutes and read it, instead of just flag it to duplicate or down vote! — Barry Allen, Sep 28 '16 at 09:28
@ManfredRadlwimmer, Are you there? Now do you have any idea? — Barry Allen, Sep 28 '16 at 11:41
I still don't understand your question. The way it is phrased it sounds like you want to show the window in the taskbar (which wouldn't fit, for obvious reasons). I get the part, that you want to hide the window instead of closing it, but you said you already do that. — Manfred Radlwimmer, Sep 28 '16 at 12:25

I have done using this code:

System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon ni = new System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon();
ni.Icon = new System.Drawing.Icon("D:\\images.ico");
ni.Visible = true;
ni.DoubleClick +=delegate(object sender, EventArgs args)
               {
                  this.Show();
                  this.WindowState = WindowState.Normal;
               };
