You cannot do this by fair means. No such API exists. There are, of course, various hacky ways to find it out, but I won't get into that.
Normally what you want to do is show a menu in response to a click on the tray icon. The message that Windows sends you when this happens contains the cursor coordinates where the click occurred. That's usually enough information to show whatever it is you show in response to the click.
In C# this translates to reading the coordinates out of the MouseEventArgs
in NotifyIcon.MouseUp
