Android How can i intercept the Status Bar Notifications?

i would want to know if i can intercept a notification from Status Bar. The purpose of this is to somehow intercept an incoming a gmail and do something with it, i don't really need the content of the email, but it would be nicer. But since gmail had stopped the access to receiver and db, i am trying to find a workaround solution by listen the Status Bar if even this is possible. Any ideas ?

You can use from API 18 NotificationListenerService to get notified about StatusBarNotifications.

You can listen for status bar notifications by using AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_NOTIFICATION_STATE_CHANGED.

Here is a StackOverflow answer on this subject, and here is a working example I put together based upon that answer. I actually put that example together because an application was, essentially, spamming my wife's notification bar with advertisements and there was no clear way of telling who the offending application was.
