You can't because the service doesn't have access to the user's desktop.

Is there any Workaround for this ?

No. This is because a service interacting with the user desktop is a security risk.

If there was a workaround services would be accessing your desktop :) Why do you have a mail server and a mail client, a database server and a database client and so on. The service is in the background doing the work and the client is a desktop app communicating with the service generally over TCP/IP.
