I'm writing a component that would be used in WinForms or WPF applications also could be used in Windows services or Unit tests. Is there a way to use SynchronizationContext component in non UI apps?

A:
Any (host) application can make its own SynchronizationContext class and call SynchronizationContext.SetSynchronizationContext.
Alternatively, you could make a no-op SynchronizationContext in your library, then use it whenever SynchronizationContext.Current is null.
The question talks about writing a custom SynchronizationContext.

Of how "application can make its own SynchronizationContext", i.e. application wihtout UI loop, like Windows service.

If you need the callbacks to execute on a single thread, you'll need to make a thread-safe queue of pending callbacks and an infinite loop on the callback thread that executes the first callback on the queue.
