Running java program in notification area can not be achieved easily in Java. However you can create a self executing jar file and run it using a batch file. This batch file can then be made to run at the startup (Autorun). The batch file will basically create the environment by configuring the JAVA_HOME and path to JAVA_HOME\bin.

Then you will need to write it; no one is going to provide this for you. You could also investigate the use of the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run registry key.

i have seen this before but it didnt help , what makes an application like utorrent run on windows start up every time ?

As I said, look into the use of that registry key. A bit more research with Google should find you some existing samples.
