How do I put an icon into the android status bar? I don't want any notifications to be associated with it. Just the icon and nothing more.
Thanks
The only way to put an icon in the status bar is to start a notification.
Don't know how to add them but read this on designing them.

Sorry if it seems childish but I searched everywhere and I couldn't find any answer to this,
I need to show the crossed-melody ,which is shown when you use silent mode in android phones on status-bar.
Anyone can help me?
You cannot simply show a icon on the status bar!
You have to create a Notification in the Notification bar
Which will show you a Icon of your app or you can set your custom icon which will show up on the Status Bar

I want to create dynamically changing/animating icons which will show up in statusbar and notifications in android.
Below are some examples that can clarify what I want :
In above example 2nd icon in left side of status bar changes with time ! I want to add similar functionality in my app but I am not able to figure out how to do that.
Also please tell me what should be the dimensions of the image icon that I should make ?
I want to disable the click event for status bar in android.how TO DO THIS.
Thanks in advance.
If by that you mean the notification bar then you cannot disable it. However what you can do is to make you application fullscreen and that should hide the notification bar.
I think you can't do this. Google didn't recommand to do this for security.
I'm now customizing theme through some framework files. The problem is that I've made the status bar with transparent background. But there's an obvious side line between status bar and the application. How can I merge them together? Looks like the application align to the top of the screen but the status bar also exist.
Thanks in advance.
Please find WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_STATUS_BAR in StatusBarService.java and replace it with WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY.
I think it is what you want.
The iPhone gives the app the ability to change the notification bar's color so you can have it match your app's design without having to hide it completely.
Is there a way to change the notification bar color in Android?
I'm looking to have it force black with white text to be less visually present while using the app, but still there.
I don't want to hide it.
No, there is no way to change the look of the notification bar from your app. Your only option would be to make your app full screen, but there are several reasons not to do this.
