How can I use UIActivityViewIndicator in my app delegate?

I've got a method that is in my app delegate that is called to pull information from a web server. Is there a way to easily incorporate UIActivityViewIndicators into the app delegate? Everything I've found so far online shows the Indicator requiring to be added as a subview. Is this doable? If so, can you point me in the right direction on where to find this?

[edit] I'm using a storyboard instead of xibs.

Yes, you can add the UIActivityIndicatorView directly from your AppDelegate. There should be an object or property of your UIViewController inside your AppDelegate. There, you can add it.

[viewController.view addSubView:activityIndicatorView];

You can easily add a UIActivityViewIndicators with few lines of code: 

UIActivityIndicatorView *aiv = [[[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhite] autorelease];  
aiv.center = self.window.rootViewController.view.center;
[self.window.rootViewController.view addSubview:aiv];
[aiv startAnimating];

But there are a lot of open source project like MBProgressHUD that gives you more stylish indicator, with other additions..
