What is a good way to inform the user about the progress?

There are many ways to inform a user about the current progress e.g. Dialog, ProgressBar, Toast and many more.

CommonsWare told me that he

avoid dialogs like the plague

because he want to

let the user use whatever of the app that they can while that loading is going on

so I'm interessted in, how do you handle this? what do you prefer?

In fact, that the user could do what he want there's also the possibility that he makes something what changes the activity. How do you inform the user now about the progress?

I would prefer a sticky notification with a Progress Bar,
so the user can use your app in the *'loading time' and
when he wants to look up the Progress,
he pulls down the notification bar, and voila.
if you want, you can make a Toast when the task finished.
