I would agree with thedead1440. Wouldn't prefer too many things on status bar. You would loose the simplicity of N9. I find the current status bar to be very minimal and clean, and like it that way :-)

Alternatively I have this solution in mind -
Use the swiping from edges to jump to any 3 homescreens ( Notifications, Apps, Running apps ).

Swipe from top edge - Notification screen
Swipe from right edge - Apps
Swipe from left edge - Running Apps
Swipe from bottom - Close current app

This way we can jump from anywhere to the three screens with minimum effort.

What say ??

I think this can be done with Mymoves app. Not 100% like that but near to it.

And the idea of adding Notifications in the Status Bar menu is to give an option to the users. Somewhat you people are right that there will be too much mess in status bar menu. But users have the options what they want to have in the status bar menu and what not. In this regards I think thats not a bad idea. i know many people will like it..

Thanks I will try it,,, hope it doesnt conflict with mymoves
