How to minimize Application window programmatically on UWP

How to minimize Application window programmatically on UWP, as if the user clicked on the minimize button on the app bar?

Let's say in my app user clicked a button to perform some processing, and now there's nothing left to do but wait until it finishes. In that case I would like to minimize my app automatically.

How to do that?

This is for C++ Windows Universal App.

This is not supported today. Programmatic suspension is an item on our backlog that has not been scheduled/prioritized yet.

Please use UserVoice to submit and/or vote on the feature request. This existing item is probably the closest to your ask: https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/110705-universal-windows-platform/suggestions/18076333-allow-an-window-to-minimize-programatically

UPDATE
This is now possible, starting with Windows 10 build 1803: Minimize UWP programatically
