I am curious if there is a way someone can develop a notification bar that can be dragged (or even tapped) to bring up the phones notifications, like on all Android phones?
Is this possible for us?

I've got a few apps that are used for navigation. Flipping between these apps seems like a waste of time and I was just thinking it would be cool to have an icon in the taskbar to represent events or possibly messages in the notification area.
Can apps add dynamic icons to the taskbar and/or dynamic/periodic notifications in the notification area?
I believe if the developer programmed that functionality in their app, then yes.

Does anyone have a more definitive answer? I'm asking from a programmers perspective.
Well i dont know exactly, what you mean with dynamic. But you can show a notification and update it frequently.
Hello,
I try to find a WinMO Application to replace the HTC notifications. I like the way the Android notification works. So, does someone know if such an application exists for our phones?
Or does someone know how to "link" an application with the top bar of the screen?
K.
Not the same, but seems kind of like what you are looking for.
A click on the top bar brings up the notification manager.

Does this phone/Android in general offer push notifications?
I currently own an iPhone3GS (just got my PAC ,will be ordering Galaxy tomorrow)
I love Gooool 2009, keeps me up to date with scores in the football.I dont have to open an app to check the scores,it informs me as the goals go in.Is there something similar for Android?
And things like Facebook? Will I be informed if someone sends me an IM ala IM+ on iPhone?
I don't know about push notifications really, but your apps can stay connected to the internet in the background so 'live notifications' shouldn't be a problem.
The notification on android works differently (and, coming from an ipod touch, I'd say better). Your notifications will pop-up in the top bar, where your cellullar signal aswell as battery level and other things are displayed (at the moment they appear for the first time the notification bar will show text, like "New updates for program X" or "IM contact A says 'hey there, how are you doing?'", and then it will revert to the normal notification bar with icons for every missed notification). You don't have to click on them nor will they stop you from doing anything else. If you want to go to the app or the specific update/im chat, you just have to slide down the notification bar, and click on the notification. If you want to clear the notification bar, just slide it down and click clear.
edit: here's an example of the pulled-down notification bar on another android phone: http://thecellularguru. com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/android-g1-50.jpg (correct the link, I can't post links yet)
I installed LauncherPro on my S7, but I would like to figure out how to change the notification bar to something more like the stock one. I like the way the notification bar works on my Epic 4G, but I haven't figured out how to do this on the S7.
Anyone know how to accomplish this?

check the bottom of the tutorial
Code your own rom for the S7.
The notification bar is the way it is and without re-writing the OS, you're not going to be able to change it.
I find that tapping to drop it down works better than sliding. It was really painful on my other resistive Android tablet.
I did follow the instructions from the post. My expectation of that was that I would have the normal notification bar. However, that isn't the case.
I'm not really into making a custom ROM for the notification bar. The funny thing is that now that I've used the stock notification bar, I'm getting used to it. The back button at the left side of the bar is actually pretty nice to use. As I'm an old Palm/Pocket PC/Windows Mobile guy, I like using a stylus and the back arrow is actually OK. I just think that the thing is too big.
Thanks,
As titled, anyone know of a way? I find it handy as we get to take a peek at what kind of notification is received instead of having to pull down the notification bar.
