Unheilig, it isn't this! I don't have problems with my status bar and navigation bar (Autolayout) I want put black background programmatically above all view including status bar, like notification bar! — user2058653, Dec 22 '13 at 16:16

this is possible if you create new window and add that view to it. Make a window property in your ViewController as shown below

@property (nonatomic,strong) UIWindow *window;

And write below code in viewDidLoad

self.window =[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds];
self.window.backgroundColor =[UIColor blueColor];
self.window.alpha =0.5;
UIView *view =[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100)];
view.backgroundColor =[UIColor greenColor];
[self.window addSubview:view];
self.window.hidden =NO;
self.window.windowLevel =UIWindowLevelStatusBar; // it works with window level as UIWindowLevelAlert
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

Hope this helps.

Try this code:

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

This will hide the status bar.

I don't want to hide it, I just want to put into under the view. – user2058653 Dec 22 '13 at 16:38
