I can successfully produce this result using this very simple sample code:

import java.awt.*; import java.awt.TrayIcon.MessageType;  public class TrayIconDemo {      public static void main(String[] args) throws AWTException {         if (SystemTray.isSupported()) {             TrayIconDemo td = new TrayIconDemo();             td.displayTray();         } else {             System.err.println("System tray not supported!");         }     }      public void displayTray() throws AWTException {         //Obtain only one instance of the SystemTray object         SystemTray tray = SystemTray.getSystemTray();          //If the icon is a file         Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage("icon.png");         //Alternative (if the icon is on the classpath):         //Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(getClass().getResource("icon.png"));          TrayIcon trayIcon = new TrayIcon(image, "Tray Demo");         //Let the system resize the image if needed         trayIcon.setImageAutoSize(true);         //Set tooltip text for the tray icon         trayIcon.setToolTip("System tray icon demo");         tray.add(trayIcon);          trayIcon.displayMessage("Hello, World", "notification demo", MessageType.INFO);     } }

This can be achieved with the SystemTray and TrayIcon classes. Also, if this is a new API for you, you might want to check the dedicated tutorial "How to Use the System Tray".
