Android Hide & Disable Notification (Status) Bar
<p>I've been able to hide the notification bar by going full screen, by using the code below</p>

<pre><code>android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.Fullscreen"
</code></pre>

<p>or </p>

<pre><code>getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
</code></pre>

<p>But what I am trying to do is completely disable the status bar.  I'm in what's known as a "kiosk mode" and I'd like to make sure that a user can not slide their finger down from the top bezel.  Both of the solutions above work for hiding the notification bar, but it does not work for disabling it completely within the app.</p>

<p>Is this possible?</p>
