I was wondering if there was something like the app Executive Assistant that displays all notifications, like market "updates found" for example, and puts them in text on a widget. I looked everywhere and the closest I came was the aforementioned app.
Reason I ask is that I hide my status bar in my theme and while I have icon notification through adw there a lot of notifications I don't see till I pull down the notification bar. I could always just unhide the status bar, I'm aware of that but i figured why not just ask before resorting to that since you guys are more savvy when it comes to that
Thanks

Hey there people.. I am a big fan of android and custom roms particularly the cyanogenmod and how they let you totally customize your phone. I am here posting this thread for a different reason.
Can the status bar be redefined?? Instead of the age old static status bar on top of the screen, if it can be modded into a dot or some kinda mini icon which expands on clicking it and glows when you have a notification just like the LED that would be great. And if you can give some visual effects like each of the notifications sliding from the side of the screen it would be cool..
Imagine you have just the dot and it is present on all the apps or games, instead of big black bar floating on your screen and eating away your screen, you click on the dot, the notifications open, and close back on clicking on the icon, you can continue what you were doing without leaving the app.
Developers please have a look at this and do it.. It would be a great success..
It's a nice idea, but I think most of us want that instant info when unlocking the phone. I want to see time, wireless signal and battery at a glance. Not unlocking, then pressing a dot or icon first! It would be neat if what you are suggesting could be implemented on full-screen apps though! i.e not having to leave Gallery when you hear a notification but don't have a statusbar...

How about giving that option in settings, like an option of seeing signal, battery status alone with the icon/dot or show the full status bar or just the dot..
If there were options of clicking the dot and opening up only how much you want as in just the network bar and battery status and you click the dot again it open up some more with some visual effects and just again if you want a detailed expanded notifications.
Just saying..!
Please drop in some ideas
And it would be awesome if everyone who takes a look at this thread drop in some suggestion or their view or their idea..
Thanks..
Would be cool

You could have all those readings on the lockscreen for the instant info and still have the status dot when you unlock.
I want something similar to the tablet UI, that's what's awesome

I second/third/fourth/thousand this idea. I can visualize what OP is imagining and I agree, sounds like a project that would take off.
Here's my .02;
Dot colors should be customizable
We should have the liberty of choosing where it shows up On our screen edges (X,Y access)
Maybe the possibility of using our own images. As in I can whip up different icons and make them pop up instead of the dot. Cool idea for personal logo use, strictly to show off of course.

Glad!
I am glad many have liked the idea.. another idea is you can choose the background of the notification bar that opens as in transparency, black, white etc..
Whenever you get a notification ripples flow from the dot indicating the notification and each color indicating a different notification..
Ohmy..!! my imagination seems to have no bounds..
Any developers?
Any developer who is interested???
How about something like using the google labs settings in the ICS browser. Whenver you put your finger on the side of the screen, your options pop up but in addition to options you time, signal, date, send message etc...

This would be really nice. I've grown so accustomed to the Browser's Quick Controls, and its one reason I rarely use Chrome.
And for now you could use Apex launcher, and set option for swype down to toggle notifications, and swype up to hide/show notification bar...

To sum up
options : full status bar
mini status bar
just the dot/custom icon
animations : ripple
glow
color of the notification bar : transparent
black
white
gestures : enable/disable
Any more additions??
OK, for some reason I want to get rid of the notification bar, but don't want to loose any functionality, so I need a substitute for what it does. So far I found :
- toggles : widgetsoid. I'm sure there's a lot of widget that does this, but this one is nice and does what I want.
- battery level and Wi-Fi / 3G strength indicators : widgetsoid does propose that again, but I like the icons less. Maybe I'll buy the alternative icons (default ones are free), or find an alternative.
- notifications : that's where it does get tricky. Is there any widget that just displays notifications from the notification bar ? I know Nova Launcher Prime allows icons to displays a number of messages / missed calls / unread mails, etc, but I'm not sure it can cover every notification from the bar.
- anything else I'm missing from the notification bar ?
Thanks
Isn't there a feature on Nova launcher to hide the status bar ? I remember being able to do this on my SGS1 and all i had to do to get it back was swipe down the screen, Then when i swiped it back up it would disappear.
As for totally removing it, I dont know if its possible as you would have to dig deep into the framework and a lot of the system requires it.
On paranoid android you can remove the notification bar, or keep it at the bottom
My english is not very good, sorry I was not clear. My problem is not to hide the status / notification bar (nova allows this, no problem). The problem is find widgets or other workarounds to get the functionalities (toggles, notifications, clock, battery level indicator, etc) of the notification / status bar since I won't use it at all. To be more precise, I'll be using a TW based custom ROM at 213 DPI, so notification bar won't appear at all.

Thanks for the statusbar+, although it does not exactly what I want...I guess I'll stick with phone mode.
Hi!
I'm coming from a P8, and i didn't like the fact that the notificaction icons of the status bar were the icon of the app, and if you scroll down the bar, it showed there all the notifications without the ability of telling the fact between, for example, Twitter interactions and DM. How's that on the Mi5? It would be nice if you put some screenshots :3
Thanks in advanced!
Can anyone tell me if a tasker can do such a command?
- Only a numerical notification with facebook push badge (in particular a similar one) is received that does not provide notification on the status bar;
- Send any type of notification to the status bar.
I hope in a reply
Thank you
If you're still sorting this, I'd be willing to try to help. I don't really use FB so I'm not sure what type of notification you're referring to. Does it show up in the notification drawer but not the status bar?

yes.... please help me if you are gentle.... i attach a example of a badge notification.... in status bar i need a notification. can you do anything? thanks from italy
I've looked at this but I'm not seeing a way to intercept the badge without capturing the FB intent. With the badge comes a notification and a flag in the status bar.
I'm wondering why the FB notification isn't working for you. It's possible to have turned them off on the actual FB site.
