new view animated and overlapping tabbar

Question

i have a tabbar and in one viewController there is a button. When the user presses the button, i would like to let a view of a navController with a tableView as rootView appear animated.
but there is a small empty stripe above the navigationbar.

-(void)pressButton{
    UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:tableViewController];
    [[self view] addSubview:[navController view]];
}

something like this... it would be even greater if the new view overlaps the tabBar as well...
