Hi everyone,
I have developed a python script which uses PyQt to draw an icon on the notification bar. When I run the script, it works fine, but when I try to run it as a windows service nothing appears on the notification bar. The service works but does not show the icon on the panel.

Is there any possibility to show this icon when it is run as a service?

this is the code

import win32service
import win32serviceutil
import win32event
import sys 
from PyQt4.QtGui import QApplication, QIcon, QMainWindow, QSystemTrayIcon

class PySvc(win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework):
    _svc_name_ = "BasculaSap"                         #nombre del servicio
    _svc_display_name_ = "BASCULA_SAP"      #nombre que se muestra en la lista de servicios de windows 	
    #Esta es la descripcion del servicio
     
    
    def __init__(self, args):
        win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework.__init__(self,args)
        self.hWaitStop = win32event.CreateEvent(None, 0, 0, None)
    
    # el nucleo del servicio donde se ejecutan las ordenes
