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.
Just like the topic says..
I want to retain notifications in the status bar.
I want to be able to pull down my notification shade on the lock screen to see my text message notification so that I can open, reply or ignore it.
Has anyone been able to make this possible?
I have a weird notification problem that seems to have randomly popped up.
Here's what happens: I get a notification. I swipe to access the notification bar, click on the notification and the corresponding app loads. But the notification icon still remains in the status bar. When I swipe down again it magically disappears.
Here's a video of the issue:[https://gfycat.com/BewitchedFarflun...gfycat.com/BewitchedFarflungAllensbigearedbat)
Why is this happening? How can I fix it?
I have a similar problem which may be related. Ill select the notification on the lock screen, unlock my phone but the app sometimes does not launch. Instead I get the home screen.
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?
