How to launch and run a UWP app in the background

Question

I am developing a UWP app but I want it to run completely in the background and launch hidden with the exception of perhaps a notification tray icon.

I'm not even sure where to start as this is my first venture into UWP and I cannot seem to change the entry point in the manner I want.

With background tasks your app can work in background and wake up after some conditions

For your needs you can run a background task on a timer
