I am doing a project using Android studio. I need a "Toggle Switch in notification bar".
Is it possible insert toggle switch in notification bar?
If yes, how to do it?
There is no offical (and probably no private, too) api to add application-related ui components to the status bar (which I assume you mean by notification bar. You could give your notifications an icon that looks like a toggle, but the user cannot interact with it. The notification itself is customizable to a large degree.

I want to pull down notification bar if it is not and if it is already down then want to close it programmatically.
I tried performGlobalAction(GLOBAL_ACTION_NOTIFICATIONS);
But is only bring down the notification bar does not close it.
but I want to toggle it.
I know it is possible because there are some apps that are doing this.
What I wish to do is what Surelock does, I can already stop the user from acessing the status bar's menu, my problem is I can only do that for my app.
I need help doing it the way surelock does it, for every app launched within my app I need to collapse the status bar menu.
Use the WindowManager to draw a View over the touch area for the notification bar that consumes all the touch events.
Keep in mind that this breaks expected behaviour on Android, and is an anti practice. If the notification bar is visible, it should be expandable. I doubt too many users will appreciate you doing this.
I am building an android application that I would like to provide access from the Notification Bar but I don't want it to display as a Notification Item in the status bar at the top. It should only show up when the user pull's down the bar.
Is there any way to get one without the other?
Use NotificationCompat with setPriority as PRIORITY_MIN
I am writing an App using MonoDroid and for some reason I cannot pull down the notification bar from the top of the screen. I am thinking this has to do with my layout, but I am not sure. I also notice that when my App is running I do not have the bar at the top showing the battery, time, signal strength, etc.
So, my question is, what do I need to do to allow the user to pull the notification bar down? And how to show the info at the top of the screen?
I suspect you have done something to make your app appear in "Full Screen" mode (this will turn the home, menu and back buttons on the bottom of the screen to dots, and hide the navigation bar.
I believe this is called "lights out mode". Here is one SO question asking how to turn it on (maybe it will help you turn it off as well): Hide ICS back home task switcher buttons
Maybe your theme is
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" ?
It hides the notification bar. Change to a non-fullscreen theme to make the the notification bar visible.
Okay, this would be fairly simple in some other environments, but I can't figure out how to do it, or if its even possible in Android.
I have placed an icon on the status bar. I would like to run a method of another class whenever the user selects that icon. I've seen similar functionality used in volume icons that sit on the status bar that allow a user to raise or lower the volume when the icon is clicked. However, these icons are on the right side of the status bar, and from what I've seen, I'm not allowed to put an icon there. I don't know if that kind of functionality is available to left side icons.
So basically, I'm looking for how to run a function when a status bar icon is clicked. I don't want to open an activity, I just want to run a function.
What you're searching is probably related to the Android UI ActionBar pattern.
Regarding that I'd like to consider you to take a look at the Google I/O 2010 Android app. It contains many of these patterns and may help you out.
Summarizing, you have to create your own ActionBar (or Status Bar as you call it). You place your buttons, retrieve them via the findViewById(...) method and associate a click listener.
