Is there a way you can do this on Android? Like on iOS you can open up the notification bar in any app.
BUMP
With 3rd party app maybe, like com.friedflow.statusbarexpander
It didn't work for me btw. As they say in the description - doesn't work on all devices.

On most apps the status bar on top just wastes 5-10% of the screen height.
Is there a way to hide it ?

I read something but that is more for developers.
Is there an app or other trick to hide theis bar and to use the full screen ?
My Galaxy is rooted.
ADW ex launcher.
Most 3rd party launchers will do that, but I bet you miss it once it's gone

Have to admit that that's true
Didn't think I would, but...
But having it back without the clock via Revolution ROM is even better.
I tried ADW Launcher, but can only hide the status bar in the home screen like in Go Launcher.
But when starting an app (in most apps) it reappears again.
What I mean is hiding it within an app.
An app like Action Launcher Pro that works on Gingerbread? I really don't feel like switching a fully undeveloped ICS Rom just for one app but have been looking for something like this...
Or like QuickDroid or the ADWLauncher search bar with the six dots in it as well.
Kinda like Smart Taskbar but with a widget bar option that also allows you to search within the box.
Is there such an app, or will I have to settle for Smart Taskbar?
Any suggestions?
Would it be possible to redirect an existing app on the home screen to launch a different app?
I'm using the samsung messaging app on my galaxy s3 and I hate it. I find the color scheme is very bland and crappy. Instead I started using the jellybean messaging app. I have both installed on my phone.
I like the samsung messaging app icon better and it also comes with notfication badges. So what I'm asking, would it be possible to launch the jellybean messaging app with the samsung app icon?
Im scouring the Play Store for an app like this, a one line in notification bar that list the recent apps horizontally, preferable most recent on the left most.
I manage to find something like it but it list the apps vertically so its eating a lot of lines on my notification bar.
Isnt this a feature of JB bur removed from ICS?

Use my app:

its allows to access the recently used apps / most used apps from notification, its have lot of other customization options like, Icon pack, icon shapes. blacklist apps, add shortcuts to notifications like Bookmarks, direct dial etc.
Is there something that replicates this feature?: changing a notifications priority/or hiding the notification icon from the status bar.
I know that you can permanently hide all notifications of an app via app info, but what I am looking for is something that will allow me to only hide any icon from the status bar, but the notification will still be there when I pull down the notification shade.
I currently use a ROM that has this feature, and I have yet to find it implemented in any other way or through any other ROM. I would love to go back to stock or an AOSP rom and use only Xposed modules, but this is the only thing that is stopping me. This feature is absolutely vital in my opinion in my everyday use.
You can see this feature in the screenshot below. When I long press any notification when I select the Hide status bar apps notification icon, the icon will not show up. As if it either replaces it (which I believe it does with a transparent dot) or just as useful would be to change the priority of the notification to low.
This just amazes me that I can't find anything else that does this. I'm hoping there is some type of xposed module that can replicate this feature, or anything really. If only i could find the code in the source of the rom myself to compile it into stock or something... But Any thoughts anyone? I'd greatly appreciate the help.

Well you can with Beanstalk ROM. I have a Nexus 5. But I know its been ported to tons of other devices. Check it out its so great. I hate leaving it it has so many features it doesn't even compare, but I can't take CM any longer at this point.

Wow. I found a way thanks to someone at the Xposed community on G+.
The Xposed Module 'App Settings' can set priority of a notification. If you set it to Min. The icon no longer appears in the status bar. Perfect! Been using this app for so long and yet never knew of this feature.
Check it out if you are interested in that feature. Its also a really nice app for much more too.
