Text in status bar like Mailbox
<p>I've looked around at ways in the past to show short messages/text in the Status Bar and have always come to the conclusion that it isn't really possible, or not possible reliably - but the Mailbox app uses it extensively and it seems to work really well.</p>

<p>Does anyone know of a way or a framework or something that can present text in the status bar like that? Is this a relatively new development? I found MTStatusBarOverlay but that looks like it hasn't been touched in almost a year which makes me nervous. Any others that are good?</p>
