Autoclose app

i'm fairly new to kde Developpement, and i have made a small systray applet that display a passive popup, but i want my app to close after it has been executed but i don't know how.

i have 2 behavior

1. the app close before the popup is shown
2. the app stay in the systray after the popup.

here is my main.cpp:

i have tried to to app.ecex(); then return 0; after but it don't work

Source code

#include "kmedianotify.h"
#include <kapplication.h>
#include <kaboutdata.h>
#include <kcmdlineargs.h>
#include <klocale.h>

static const char description[] =
    I18N_NOOP("A KDE KPart Application");

static const char version[] = "0.1";

static KCmdLineOptions options[] =
{
//    { "+[URL]", I18N_NOOP( "Document to open" ), 0 },
 {"header <string>",I18N_NOOP("Title of the notification"),""},
    {"desc <string>",I18N_NOOP("Description of the notification"),""},
    {"img <string>",I18N_NOOP("Icon to be shown in the popup"),"/usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/22x22/apps/hwinfo.png"},
    KCmdLineLastOption
};

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    KAboutData about("kmedianotify", I18N_NOOP("kMediaNotify"), version, description,
       KAboutData::License_GPL, "(C) 2005 Francis Bélanger", 0, 0, "francis.belanger@gmail.com");
    about.addAuthor( "Francis Bélanger", 0, "francis.belanger@gmail.com" );
    KCmdLineArgs::init(argc, argv, &about);
    KCmdLineArgs::addCmdLineOptions( options );
    KApplication app;
    kMediaNotify *mainWin = 0;

    if (app.isRestored())
    {
        RESTORE(kMediaNotify);
    }
    else
    {
        // no session.. just start up normally
        KCmdLineArgs *args = KCmdLineArgs::parsedArgs();

        /// @todo do something with the command line args here
  QString sTitle = args->getOption("header");
  QString sDesc = args->getOption("desc");
  QString sIcon = args->getOption("img");

        mainWin = new kMediaNotify(sTitle,sDesc,sIcon);
        app.setMainWidget( mainWin );
        //mainWin->show();
  mainWin->notify();

        args->clear();
    }

    // mainWin has WDestructiveClose flag by default, so it will delete itself.
    return app.exec();
}

the mainWin->show() is commented be cause my app start minimize in the systray.

any help or advise would be appreciated
