[[UIApplication sharedApplication]setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:NO];

// Create window
UIWindow *statusWindow = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,20)];
statusWindow.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelStatusBar;
statusWindow.backgroundColor=[UIColor redColor];

// Dont make the statusWindow keyWindow or the keyboard won't work!
// [statusWindow makeKeyAndVisible];

// Create statusBarButton
UIButton *statusBarButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeContactAdd];

statusBarButton.frame = CGRectMake(230, 2, 15, 15);
statusBarButton.backgroundColor=[UIColor redColor];
[statusBarButton addTarget:self action:@selector(goTop) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside]; 

// Place button into the new window

    // Instead, add this:
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible]; // has to be main window of app
statusWindow.hidden = NO;

[statusWindow addSubview:statusBarButton];

A good idea

UIWindow *statusWindow = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,20)];
statusWindow.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelStatusBar;
statusWindow.backgroundColor=[UIColor redColor];

You could hide the default status bar and create a custom bar with the same height as the status bar and display it on the view. Apple does not allow you customize the status bar other than changing its color(gray/black), opacity(opaque/translucent) and visibility(hidden/visible).
