title: Android: Replace Notification Bar
body: <p>currently I'm working on an UI Replacement of Android, currently achived by writing a different launcher and different-styled apps. All's good so far, BUT: there is still the notification bar missing, means, I have no idea how to replace the notification bar.</p>
  
  <p>The "new" notification bar shall show only generic informations like the clock and network state, similar to windows phone and ios, without NotificationManager-binding.</p>
  
  <p>How can I achive this? I know that there are several notification bar replacement apps out there, like omega statusbar or statusbar+.</p>
  
  <p>My idea was to make every app of my UI fullscreen and having its own NotificationBar-Instance, fed by a ContentProvider or Service. But if the user decides to use classic android apps, he also will see the generic notification bar, which isn't what I want.</p>
  
  <p>Also it might be an idea to create a window on top the notification bar, but I have no clue either this is "the right way", nor if it is even possible to achive this in this way.</p>
