title: Completely Disable/Hide Status Bar on 4.4.2
body: <p>We are developing a launcher app for elderly people which has a very easy UI and we do not want to show status bar or notification drawer. </p>
  
  <p>Now i tried to disable Status Bar but it seems to re-appear when i pull down from the upper side of the screen. And if i pull-down for the second time notification drawer is opened. Is there a way to completely disable Status Bar? </p>
  
  <p>I checked the documentation on the following links but i think no solution is present. In API level 16 we were able to disable it completely but not in api level 19.
