You can use the ShowRecentCategory property of the JumpList. When you start the app create the jump list:

JumpList jumpList = new JumpList();
jumpList.ShowRecentCategory = true;
JumpList.SetJumpList(Application.Current, jumpList);

Then when you want to add a document to the recent list use the AddToRecentCategory method:

JumpList.AddToRecentCategory(/*item path*/);

Important to rememer: "If your application is not registered to handle the file type of the item, it will not appear in the Recent list and calls to AddToRecentCategory(String) will fail silently."
