Thanks Zoltan.. It did help a lot.. But if i want to capture single click and double click events of the mouse separately i'm afraid this can't be used..<br><br>def onTrayIconActivated(self, reason):<br>        if reason == QSystemTrayIcon.DoubleClick:<br>
            print('tray icon double clicked')<br>            <br>        if reason == QSystemTrayIcon.Trigger:<br>            print("Tray icon single clicked")<br><br>If i double click the tray icon it executes both if conditions. Any way of resolving this?. Thanks again..<br>

<br>
'activated' is a signal of QSystemTrayIcon.<br>
you have to connect it to a slot (the onTrayIconActivated method in this<br>
case) in order to catch it.<br>
i highly suggest this reading before step forward:<br>

<br>
minimal working example here:<br>
<br>
import sys<br>
from PyQt4.QtCore import *<br>
from PyQt4.QtGui import *<br>
<br>
class MainWindow(QMainWindow):<br>
<br>
     def __init__(self, parent=None):<br>
         super(MainWindow, self).__init__(parent)<br>
<br>
         self.trayIcon = QSystemTrayIcon(self)<br>
         self.trayIcon.activated.connect(self.onTrayIconActivated)<br>
         self.trayIcon.show()<br>
<br>
     def onTrayIconActivated(self, reason):<br>
         if reason == QSystemTrayIcon.DoubleClick:<br>
             print 'tray icon double clicked'<br>
<br>
if __name__ == "__main__":<br>
     app = QApplication(sys.argv)<br>
     w = MainWindow()<br>
     w.show()<br>
     sys.exit(app.exec_())<br>
<br>
<br>
hope it helps<br>
<br>
bests<br>
