Yes indeed. And this is documented here - TrackPopupMenu function (and also for TrackPopupMenuEx)- "To display a context menu for a notification icon, the current window must be the foreground window before the application calls TrackPopupMenu or TrackPopupMenuEx. Otherwise, the menu will not disappear when the user clicks outside of the menu or the window that created the menu (if it is visible). If the current window is a child window, you must set the (top-level) parent window as the foreground window."

Oh yes! I did not read it carefully :-)
