Android - Simple code to enable notification bar

Question

I have an Android device where the default is for the Notification bar to be off so you cannot drag it down. I want to write a simple program that turns the notification bar back on so you can drag it down to view the notifications. If someone could show me the code to do that I would be very grateful.

Answer 1

First ,you must Have a look at Android SDK - Creating Status Bar Notifications page.

NotificationManager manger = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

        Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.icon,
                "Notification text that will be shown on status bar.", System
                        .currentTimeMillis());

        // The PendingIntent will launch activity if the user selects this
        // notification
        PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context,
                REQUEST_CODE, new Intent(this, MyActivity.class), 0);
        notification.setLatestEventInfo(this, "Content Title", "Content text",
                contentIntent);
        manger.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);

Answer 2

On what device is "the default is for the Notification bar to be off"? If an app can't rely on being able to post a notification such that the user can see and respond to it without the app doing anything additional, that is not a compatible device and the manufacturer needs to fix it.
