Is this an ASP.NET application? If so, you can't with a normal website. You would need to create an client application or browser addin.

C#

string IconPath = @"C:\Users\Zaid\Desktop\Icon.ico";

            Icon icon = new Icon(IconPath);

            NotifyIcon notifyIcon = new NotifyIcon();

            notifyIcon.BalloonTipText = "Text";

            notifyIcon.Icon = icon;

Hey You can use option like Minimize window and go to system tray.
In this case you application is partially close(i.e. not visible in task bar)

And for notification you can restore it..

For Minimize and system tray reference links---

1. Minimize Form in System Tray

2. Minimize any window to system tray using Windows Hook[^]
