JavaFX 8 Taskbar Icon Listener

DESCRIPTION: I created a javafx 8 application with the StageStyle.Undecorated window styling. I currently have a minimize, maximize and fullscreen button, as well as a key combination listener for maximizing the window.

QUESTION: Is there a way to attach a listener to the taskbar icon, so in turn I can minimize the application window by left-clicking on the icon?

enter image description hereAdd an OnMousePressed event handler to the node containing your icon, then add the method you wish to execute to the handler!

Example of a taskbar!!

public static HBox createButtons(String id, int amount, int width, int height) {
        Rectangle[] button = new Rectangle[3];
        DropShadow glow = new DropShadow();
        HBox buttonBox = new HBox(10);

        glow.setSpread(.6);
        glow.setRadius(10);

        buttonBox.getStylesheets().add(Styles.styledToolBarCss);
        buttonBox.setId(id);
        buttonBox.setAlignment(Pos.TOP_RIGHT);

        button[0] = new Rectangle();
        button[0].setFill(new ImagePattern(ImagesAndIcons.minimize));
        button[0].setWidth(width);
        button[0].setHeight(height);
        button[0].setOnMouseEntered(e ->{
            glow.setColor(Color.DODGERBLUE);
            button[0].setEffect(glow);
        });
        button[0].setOnMouseExited(e ->{
            button[0].setEffect(null);
        });
        button[0].setOnMouseReleased(e ->{
            TileMapEditor.minimize();
        });

        button[1] = new Rectangle();
        button[1].setFill(new ImagePattern(ImagesAndIcons.maximize));
        button[1].setWidth(width);
        button[1].setHeight(height);
        button[1].setOnMouseEntered(e ->{
            glow.setColor(Color.DODGERBLUE);
            button[1].setEffect(glow);
        });
        button[1].setOnMouseExited(e ->{
            button[1].setEffect(null);
        });
        button[1].setOnMouseReleased(e ->{
            TileMapEditor.maximize();
        });

        button[2] = new Rectangle();
        button[2].setFill(new ImagePattern(ImagesAndIcons.exit));
        button[2].setWidth(width*1.5);
        button[2].setHeight(height);
        button[2].setOnMouseEntered(e ->{
            glow.setColor(Color.RED);
            button[2].setEffect(glow);
        });
        button[2].setOnMouseExited(e ->{
            button[2].setEffect(null);
        });
        button[2].setOnMouseReleased(e ->{
            TileMapEditor.exit();
        });

        buttonBox.getChildren().setAll(button);

        return buttonBox;
    }
