Q: 

Persistant Taskbar in Android

I want to have a persistant taskbar like the status bar of Android. I dont want it to load with individual activity. i want that taskbar to remain persistant for all activities that too at the bottom of the screen.*(Not on top of screen where status bar is present.)

Thank you for your help.

That is not possible from the Android SDK. It should be possible by modifying the firmware.

@Rohan K: There isn't a "tutorial". If you new to phone firmware, Android is not the place to start.

@Commonsware: I have the Android OS source code.As per my knowledge the Status Bar must be an OS level application. Can you please tell me where should i look for the notification manager application (Which folder it must be present). I'm thinking of modifying the OS so that i could bring the status bar at bottom of activity. Thank you for your help.
