    let handle = service.handle();
    service.spawn();

    std::thread::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_secs(5));
    // We can modify the tray
    handle.update(|tray: &mut MyTray| {
        tray.checked = true;
    });
    // Run forever
    loop {
        std::thread::park();
    }
}

Will create a system tray like this:
