Window open on Notification click

I have created a chat application, so when I received a message there is a notification generated so that on clicking notification my chat application should open and I did it using this code below

if (!ApplicationContext.ContactsViewModel.IsWindowOpen)
  {
     ApplicationContext.CurrentChatView.Dispatcher.Invoke(() =>
     {
        ApplicationContext.CurrentChatView.WindowState = WindowState.Normal;
        ApplicationContext.CurrentChatView.Activate();
     });
  }

so the problem here is my application is performing all the tasks in the background but instead of appearing in the foreground

I have also tried :

ApplicationContext.CurrentChatView.Topmost=true;

but in this case, the application remains topmost even after clicking on another window.

is there any other alternative to it?? thanks in advance

You should make corrections in your method calling order. Try the following:

if (!ApplicationContext.ContactsViewModel.IsWindowOpen)
{
    ApplicationContext.CurrentChatView.Dispatcher.Invoke(() =>
    {
        if (!Window.IsVisible)
        {
            Window.Show();
        }

        if (Window.WindowState == WindowState.Minimized)
        {
            Window.WindowState = WindowState.Normal;
        }

        Window.Activate();
        Window.Topmost = true;  // important
        Window.Topmost = false; // important
        Window.Focus();         // important
    });
}

You can use window.Show() / window.Hide() methods to switch between visible and hidden mode:

private void ShowCurrentWindows()
{
   foreach (Window window in Application.Current.Windows)
   {
        if (!window.IsVisible)
        {
            window.Show();
        }
    }
}

private void HideCurrentWindows()
{
     foreach (Window window in Application.Current.Windows)
     {
         if (window.IsVisible)
         {
            window.Hide();
         }
     }
}
