You don't need to do that! just simply override OnClosing method inside the main window like this:

        protected override void OnClosing(System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                // If you try to dispose it from ViewModel, you might get a CrossThreadException.
                notifyIcon.Dispatcher.Invoke(new Action(delegate
                {
                    notifyIcon.Dispose();
                }));
            }
            catch { }
            base.OnClosing(e);
        }

and then in everywhere of your main application code, no matter you are in View or ViewModel or everywhere, just call it like this:

Application.Current.MainWindow.Close();

I had the same problem but I fix it like that.

Update: You should not use Environment.Exit(0); method. it throws the same exception.
