Disable touch event for notification bar in Android

Question

Is there a way to disable click on the notification bar when my activity is displayed?

Basically I want to lock the notification bar so that the user will not be able to interact with it.

Generally you don't get and shouldn't be trying to lock the user out of parts of built-in android functionality. — Chris Stratton, Aug 24 '11 at 14:36

Set this in your notification:

PendingIntent contentIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
                                                        null,
                                                        Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_BROUGHT_TO_FRONT);

You can make your activity to full screen. Add this to your activity tag in the manifest file:

android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
