Services do not display a user interface directly due to Session 0 isolation. So you'll need to rethink with a client-server-style separation of service processing from user interface.
The user-mode UI process will start when the user logs in and remain largely idle/hidden. It will establish an inter-process communication connection to the service and await orders in client-server fashion. If the server wants to "push" some kind of an alert to the client, it does so by notifying the user-mode application to display the user interface on its behalf.
