UWP Windows 10: Is there a variable counting app starts?

Question

do UWP apps for Windows 10 contain a variable counting the number of startups? If yes, what is the name of this variable? I want to perform an event after a certain number of app starts. Otherwise i need to develop a startup Counter manually.

Thanks! :)

I think this could work:

    Windows.Storage.ApplicationDataContainer localSettings = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings;

    public MainPage()
    {
        this.InitializeComponent();

        //Count App starts
        object Counter = localSettings.Values["AppStartCounter"];

        if (Counter != null)
        {
            localSettings.Values["AppStartCounter"] = (int)Counter + 1;
        }
        else
        {
            localSettings.Values["AppStartCounter"] = 1;
        }
     }
