View automatically adjusting upon changing applications with Status Bar hidden

Question

I have a UIViewController that is conditionally hiding the status bar in the application, but a problem I'm having is that when I have the status bar hidden and I change to a different application with a status bar, the view moves up 20 pixels to compensate for the missing status bar, even though I've already compensated for it.

I'm hiding the status bar like so:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade];

and showing it again with:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO];

I've also tried adding this to my hide:

[self setWantsFullScreenLayout:YES];

and this to my show:

[self setWantsFullScreenLayout:NO];

Why is my view adjusting automatically upon me switching applications?

Include how you are conditionally hiding/showing StatusBar, and how you are compensating for it. A complete code snippet for this would be useful. — Bret Deasy, Mar 16 '13 at 00:56

You only need to compensate for the StatusBar being shown.

By default, the top 20px of your view will sit under the StatusBar.

When you setStatusBarHidden:YES, you don't need to move your view 20px up unless you already moved it 20px down when setStatusBarHidden:NO.
