Microsoft在其Toast Notifications Overview中明确声明，如果应用程序在Windows Start屏幕中没有快捷方式方式，则它将无法显示Toast。
由于Start屏幕快捷方式存储在 %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs 文件夹中，因此需要遵循一个简单的规则：如果要显示toast，请将应用程序快捷方式添加到Start Menu文件夹中。
组件在其智能标记菜单中包含"Create Application Shortcut"连接，单击此链接后，您的应用将正确显示通知。
"Create Application Shortcut"命令将快捷方式添加到个人的Start屏幕，换句话说，创建应用程序快捷方式的PC是唯一可以显示toast的机器，其他任何计算机的Start屏幕都没有指向应用程序的快捷方式。如果要显示所有用户的toast，请记住您的应用程序安装程序配置在%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs文件夹中添加快捷方式（具有有效的AppUserModelID）。
最好的选择是使用安装程序将此快捷方式添加到用户计算机，如果这不是一个选择或您没有安装程序，则可以使用DevExpress.Data.ShellHelper.TryCreateShortcut方法添加适当的快捷方式。
using DevExpress.XtraBars.ToastNotifications;
using DevExpress.Data;
//if there's no app shortcut in the start screen, add it
if (!ShellHelper.IsApplicationShortcutExist("My Test App")) {
ShellHelper.TryCreateShortcut(
applicationId: manager.ApplicationId,
name: "My Test App");
//restart the app
Application.Restart();
}
Please note that the reliability of the method TryCreateShortcut reliable than other methods. First, your application may not have the necessary permission to write files to the system folder. Secondly, note the use of the above method Application.Restart code fragment. If the application is already running, it will add a shortcut to the Start screen will not be enabled Toast, need to re-start the application.
