Making navigation bar touchable in android windowsmanager

WindowManager.LayoutParams wmlp;
wmlp = new WindowManager.LayoutParams();
wmlp.width = WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
wmlp.height = WindowManager.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
wmlp.alpha = 1.0f;
wmlp.flags = WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_STATUS_BAR
|WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SPLIT_TOUCH;
wmlp.flags &= ~(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCHABLE
);
wmlp.type = WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ERROR;
wmlp.format = -1;
wmlp.token = null;
wmlp.softInputMode = WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE
| WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN | WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE;
I am applying those parameters to a layout. I want the background activity should not be touchable. It is working fine. But with this having issue as the navigation bar is also untouchable. I want to make it enabled. What can i do?

Animation in status bar like in Mailbox app

Any idea how to implement animation in status bar like in Mailbox app?
Link to the app
What I'm curious the most is the fade in & fade out animation and that the list can be scrolled during it.
Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This works for me in android 4.4.4 and 5.0.
WindowManager windowManager = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
int statusBarHeight = (int) Math.ceil(25 * getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density);
TextView textView = new TextView(this);
textView.setText("I am on top of status bar");
textView.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK);
textView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
WindowManager.LayoutParams params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
statusBarHeight,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE|
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL|
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN,
PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
params.gravity = Gravity.TOP | Gravity.RIGHT;
windowManager.addView(textView, params);

Add AdMob banner without XML

Can I add AdMob banner without using XML layout? I have't found anything about this in the admob documentation.

In the documentation I find nothing about using XML-Layout (see here).
However, registering the Activity in the Android Manifest and declaring your needed permissions must be done in XML.

You can actually do that by using Window instance.
Here is the snippet of sample code:
WindowManager.LayoutParams mWindowParams = new WindowManager.LayoutParams();
mWindowParams.gravity = Gravity.TOP | Gravity.LEFT;
mWindowParams.x = 0;
mWindowParams.y = 0;
mWindowParams.height = WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
mWindowParams.width = WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
mWindowParams.flags = WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN;
mWindowParams.format = PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT;
mWindowParams.windowAnimations = 0;
WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) _applicationActivity.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
if (wm != null)
{
wm.addView(_bannerAdView, mWindowParams);
}
