Mini Icon in homepage

[kambamsu]

Hi,
I'm trying to find how to place a mini icon, similar to the bluetooth or wi-fi icons in the homepage. Basically, I would like to place this icon on the screen when my app is running in the background.

Any help and/or suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks

The closest thing you can go is display it using a TopWindow:

Hi Bogdan,
Maybe I should make my question a little clear. When you have your bluetooth turned on, there is a small icon on the right top corner of the homepage. I want to create something similar to that when my app is running. I believe there are apps which create something like that, but Im not sure how to do it.

You question was clear but the solution seems related to bogdan´s suggestion since we do not have any API to do such task. You can create a small topwindow at right corner and put an icon inside it.

Oh right.. thanks for it! couldn't figure out the connection between top window and the icon initially!
