Android: Add text to status bar

I am working on JellyBean. I want to add some text to the status bar when my application starts. (This text is not related to notifications). Is it possible to add plain text(without any notifications) to the status bar? If yes, how?

Thank you.

I don't think so..

The statusbar is not a Java application, but a part of the Framework classes of the Android OS. The classes are compiled in DEX format and then ODEX-ed in compiletime and are not editable in runtime.

There is no way (to my knowladge) that you're able to add text except by using the notification subsystem.
