Answer 1

After searching for some times i found answer myself.

minIcon.setOnMouseClicked(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
    public void handle(MouseEvent me) {
        primaryStage.setIconified(true);
    }
});

This works fine..

Answer 2

The following code should work:

iconid.setOnMouseClicked( event -> {
  Stage obj = (Stage) iconid.getScene().getWindow();
  obj.setIconified(true);
});

Edit: I'm new here so I didn't know to present my code better. So I'll try my best.

Here's the expln:- Variable meanings- iconid: The fxid of your ImageView element. obj : random stage object that you can declare.

The event ->{} is a lambda function and it reduces my work so I use it often.

What the second line does is it creates a new stage object and equates it to the current stage being shown, which is retrieved using .getScene().getWindow() property. I used the same ImageView element for consistency but you can use any element belonging to the same stage.(e.g. a button from the same window)

Third line is where you call the method setIconified(boolean) [Not the best naming ik, but I think it has to do with 'iconifying' it to the taskbar-turning it into an icon from a window] Setting it to 'true' minimizes your specified window. That's about it.
