On Windows 7, is it possible to create an application to be displayed in the taskbar? What I have in mind is a small widget like a media player or a weather widget, etc.

Something like the mockup below:

Any idea?

Yes it's possible. What you are looking for is a toolbar or sometimes referred to as "desk band":
