This not work for me in iOS 4.3 on iPhone Simulator. But, overlaying send event can get the event in all screen, so I only have to see where is the click.

Have a look at https://github.com/myell0w/MTStatusBarOverlay - there you can find how to handle touches (it is a full implementation of an status bar overlay mimicing the one found in Reeder, it also implements a similar animation mode like the one covered here)

Actually it was already posted as a comment by Ryan Petrich. I tried and it works for me.

UIWindow *appWindow = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
[appWindow setWindowLevel:UIWindowLevelStatusBar+1.0f];
[appWindow setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];

MyView *myView = [MyView new];
myView.frame = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarFrame];
myView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[appWindow addSubview:myView];

Note:
- MyView extends UIView
- intercept the touch events in MyView

I actually found a way to avoid the EXC_BAD_ACCESS issue when you shake the iPhone !
You need to check if eventMemory == nil before using it !

int * eventMemory = (int *)[anEvent performSelector:@selector(_gsEvent)];
if(eventMemory != nil)
{
int eventType = eventMemory[GS_EVENT_TYPE_OFFSET];
...
}

It works way better now :)

I have the same bad access issue. And it's not just a problem with the simulator... It also crashes while doing it with your phone !
If anyone has a solution to fix that, I would really appreciate :-)

How do you determine if the window is touched?
