Show a toast notification when UWP app is being uninstalled

I want to find a solution when the user uninstalls my app, a toast notification will be shown. But I could not find any solution for it. I tried using, the package uninstall event: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.applicationmodel.packagecatalog.packageuninstalling?view=winrt-18362 But this only worked when the app was opened. Not when the app is closed. Is there any way to observe app uninstallation? I heard I can do that using win32 API but not sure how. Can you guys help me? If you can suggest any win32 API that will also be helpful.

You maybe able to use the desktop6:UninstallAction package extension, which requires the customInstallActions restricted capability. You specify an executable in your package, a name for the action, and arguments to pass to the executable. Have the executable when invoked with the arguments display the desired toast notification.
