Is there a method to differentiate between a single click and double click, and possibly somethink like a shift-click, on the tray icon, so that I could perform different functions depending on which click type was received?

If you want a good example of the effect I'm going for, take a look at the volume icon (WinXP version) -- single click brings up the volume slider, double click brings up the "Volume Control" application.

I know this last part is probably impossible, but if I could set the "Default" item to either something not in the menu list or be the double click action (like the volume icon does), that would be wonderful.

Code:
OnMessage(0x404, "AHK_NOTIFYICON") ; WM_USER + 4
Return

AHK_NOTIFYICON(wParam, lParam)
{
   Global click

   If lParam = 0x201 ; WM_LBUTTONUP
   {
      click = 1
      SetTimer, clickcheck, -250
      Return 0
   }
   Else If lParam = 0x203 ; WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK   
   {
      click = 2
      Return 0
   }
}

clickcheck:
If (GetKeyState("Shift", "P") && click = 1)
{
   Msgbox Shift+1
}   
Else If (GetKeyState("Shift", "P") && click = 2)
{
   Msgbox Shift+2
}   
Else If click = 1
{
   Msgbox 1
}
Else If click = 2
{
   Msgbox 2
}
Return

Here is another way to do it, this determine as many clicks as you like:

Code:
#Persistent
Menu, Tray, Add, TEST, TEST
Menu, Tray,Default, TEST
Menu, Tray, Click, 1
Return

TEST:
If x = 5 ;here you can set how many clicks user can do max
   Return
x++
SetTimer, Run, 300 ;here you need to experiment to suit you
SetTimer, DEL, 350
Return

Run:
SetTimer, Run, Off
MsgBox % x
Return


DEL:
SetTimer, DEL, Off
x=
Return

@Serenity: That is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. I was figuring that I would need to use timers somewhere in there, but I wasn't quite sure how to impliment them properly.
