Every so often is my phone is busy, I manage to crash the notification bar so that it disappears from the screen. Even when I open other apps on my. This got me thinking. Is there a way I can hide the notification bar so that it's even hidden in apps and not just the home screen or other apps that don't have the option to hide it?

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a way to hide the status bar in my homescreens but have it reappear just when I receive a notification (so I can see the preview on the status bar).
Also, is there a way to hide my status bar in my homescreens but have it reappear by tapping the area where it would normally be?
I have looked for a way to do this but I have only found methods of completely hiding the status bar without being able to see it when necessary...
Thanks.
Has anyone found a way to do this?
I don't know if this is what you mean, but I use ADW (the paid one) and I have my status bar hidden and the home button pulls the notifications down when I want to see/check. If I get a notification, it doesn't stay down, but it is simple to hit the home button, check notifications and then slide it back up.
I was actually looking for something that would either:
1) show me the notification alert at the top of the screen even when I have hidden the status bar OR
2) allow me to see the status bar whenever I want (possibly a button press/gesture/etc.)
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Adw launcher or go-laucnher can do that.
hide the notification bar, use gesture to hide/unhide it
Yea ADW- Launcher does this. You can hide the notification bar permanently but then set a gesture to swipe down/up and you get it to pop up like it was always there. Do the same swipe and it goes away.
OK, thats good to know.
Thanks for the help.
Hello again,
there is another thing which bugs me in Lollipop, and perhaps one of the hardworking Xposers has a solution
When I touch the status bar, always the notification shade pops out and the rest of the screen darkens, regardless of where I touch the status bar.
This is markedly different than in previous Android versions, and it makes certain actions impossible or at least awkward:
- I want to set brightness by sweeping along the status bar (an old Samsung stock feature which is enabled in other devices by Gravitybox Xposed module). If the notification shade pops out, I can't see how bright the screen now is, because it is darkened when notification shade is activated...
- I want to use statusbar gestures (in "Gesture Navigation" Xposed module).
Is there a Xposed module which restores the old behavior (i.e., notification shade is only activated when pulling down finger from statusbar)?
Or a possibility to set some values in system files oder something like that?
Thanks in advance,
Hasenbein
No one an idea?
The app "Pin Tasking" is able to reserve one third of the status bar for its own swipe gesture (which but can only trigger the app's own actions), so what I want is definitely possible...
For all who are interested in this issue:
At least with Serajr's "Xperia Xposed" module it's possible to swipe along the status bar for setting brightness without the screen darkening.
Just took the ota and now I'm on lyz28j. I notice that the notification and soft buttons hide and I can't find a setting to disable it. Is this a new feature in lollipop?
I flashed the full LYX28J image because I use TWRP and I'm rooted. I still have the normal notification bar which does not hide except for full screen video. Soft buttons sometimes hide, but like they always have. Are you using the standard launcher? With Nova I can hide the notification bar.
Hey guys so i haven't had any real issues with my notifications except that after i get a notification and click it (or pull the screen down to show notifications/toolbar and click the notification) it'll launch whichever application fine but after opening/reading the notification it doesn't automatically disappear from the top display tray. I have to drag it down again, it'll show no new notification and then the icon will go away. Is there anyway to fix this?
The brief notification is where you get a small pop up at the top of your screen. How the hell do you disable this globally? Some apps like WhatsApp you can do from within the actual app's settings. Others you can turn off priority notifications.. But some apps don't have any valid setting. How can I disable this for all apps. Its such a useless feature for me. I just want the regular icon in the status bar and nothing popping up
they used to be called heads up notifications I think and yes I'd welcome a solution for this too.
I currently run my phone in 'do not disturb' mode 24/7 because I despise their intrusions.
