          You should add a startup item to your startup application list, as mentioned by Mladen B.



          The command is:



          /opt/telegram/Telegram 


          Or, if you've installed Telegram via the software center or snap:



          telegram-desktop


          To start hidden:



          /opt/telegram/Telegram -startintray 


          There is a -now closed- bug in Telegram using Unity: a sequence of "Open Telegram --> Minimize to tray --> Open Telegram" will show the window.

          You can add it to the list of startup applications, by going to Dash and start typing "startup". The "Startup Applications" icon should show up.



          startup



          Click on it and when it starts, click on the "Add" button to add your app to the list of applications which will start automatically each time you log in.
          Also you can start it minimized by adding -startintray commandline option:

          Sadly none of them are work from the prevoius solutions.



          What I did:





          1. Created a bash script file with (You have to add the proper path of your Telegram executable. Relative path didn't work!):



            #!/bin/bash
            /home/spyff/.telegram/Telegram &

            while true
            do
            xdotool windowminimize `xdotool search --onlyvisible --classname Telegram`
            if [ $? -eq 0 ]
            then
            break
            fi
            sleep 0.1
            done


          2. Saved somewhere as TelegramStarter.sh


          3. Added that script to the Ubuntu's Startup Applications


          This start Telegram and if its actually started, minimize it immediately. Tested on Ubuntu 16.04.3 with Telegram 1.1.23.

            You could use crontab, and enter this in the terminal:



              crontab -e telegram
            crontab restart


            and it might work fine this way.

                  1. Created a bash script file with (You have to add the proper path of your Telegram executable. Relative path didn't work!):



                    #!/bin/bash
                    /home/spyff/.telegram/Telegram &

                    while true
                    do
                    xdotool windowminimize `xdotool search --onlyvisible --classname Telegram`
                    if [ $? -eq 0 ]
                    then
                    break
                    fi
                    sleep 0.1
                    done


                  2. Saved somewhere as TelegramStarter.sh


                  3. Added that script to the Ubuntu's Startup Applications


                  This start Telegram and if its actually started, minimize it immediately. Tested on Ubuntu 16.04.3 with Telegram 1.1.23.

                  Sadly none of them are work from the prevoius solutions.



                  What I did:

                    if [ $? -eq 0 ]

                      You could use crontab, and enter this in the terminal:



                        crontab -e telegram
                      crontab restart


                      and it might work fine this way.
