Tray Icon - Method to notify the user of connection

I'm looking for a way to visually notify the user when I'm syncronizing data to a web service.  I'd like an icon on the tray at the top near the clock, but perhaps that isn't doable in .NET CF

What other alternates can be suggested.  A NotifyIcon is too hidden as you have to potentially close the app to see it (to the best of my knowledge).

Got any suggestions

Thanks.

    I'm assuming you are using Pocket PC If so you can use the Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.Notification class in .NETCF v2.0, or for v1.0 the OpenNETCF equivalent (www.opennetcf.org/sdf/)

    I actually want an icon on the top of the screen where the app title comes up, wireless connectivity/activesync icon etc.

    Is this possible

    Thanks.
