What does "not working properly" mean? What happens when you run it?

Windows Services don't have a UI. A NotifyIcon is a UI element. If there's no UI then a UI element cannot be shown. If you want a NotifyIcon then you need to create a Windows Forms application. If you need the behaviour of a Windows service then you can created both and have them communicate.
