How can we stop notifications from persisting in the action center?

Question

My app does not support UWP and so I am using NotifyIcon for notifications. Now the issue is, if we persist NotifyIcon for sometime, then on Windows 10 boxes, it goes and settles in the Windows Action Center. My requirement is that I want to persist these icons on the System Tray, but not in the Action Center.

What I have tried:

I have tried few alternatives including one sample from msdn got from the link below, but nothing works out.
Browse code samples | Microsoft Docs[^]

With this sample code which used "ToastNotification", I was able to get the notifications, but they did not persist in the system tray area.

Manually disabling Action center for certain apps, as recommended on few sites, is not a suitable option for me.

So, can anyone guide me on how can I achieve this ?

That is a configuration option that is under the control of the user.
