Physically change the contents of the Icon property based on a timer.

notifyIcon1.Icon=new Icon(......);

You can set the icon to null to hide it and then set it to a valid icon to
display it.

Hello Bob Powell [MVP],

I would suggest that you not set the icon to null but instead set it to a blank icon so that it acts like a place holder in the system tray.
