It is basically a new UIWindow that has higher windowLevel. You make a new window and set windowLevel to something like UIWindowLevelStatusBar + 1. Then, the content of the window will float on top of the status bar.

But beware! Apple AppStore does not like "abusing status bar", and will reject whatever if they feel you're abusing status bar stuffs. This is just another story from how you can implement.

If you're looking for a tutorial, here's nice one.
