Clipboard.SetContent() The remote procedure call failed

In my UWP Application When I am trying to set the content in the Clipboard I am getting the below exception.

Targeted SDK version: Windows 10 SDK, version 1903

System.Exception: The remote procedure call failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BE) at Windows.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer.Clipboard.SetContent(DataPackage content)

public static void CopyTextToClipboard(string textToCopy)
{          
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(textToCopy))
    {
       var dataPackage = new DataPackage();
       dataPackage.RequestedOperation = DataPackageOperation.Copy;
       dataPackage.SetText(textToCopy.Trim().Replace(" ", string.Empty));
       Clipboard.SetContent(dataPackage);
    }
}

Clipboard.SetContent must be called from the UI thread. In case you are executing this code from a different thread, you must wrap the Clipboard call inside a Dispatcher.RunAsync:

await CoreApplication.MainView.Dispatcher.RunAsync(
    CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal,
    () => Clipboard.SetContent(dataPackage));

Also, note this means Clipboard cannot be used from a background service as well (this has no associated UI thread).
