widgetsoid
For those looking for status bar notifications, get an app called widgetsoid. Very good program and you can place almost any system icon or App in the pulldown menu.
It's a little tricky to configure, here are the instructions from a post on XDA:
----------------------
In order to configure widgetsoid to show up in the notification bar, open the general settings (by opening the app through the launcher) and go to the Notification tab.
Uncheck the Open popup option. Then exit the app and go to a home screen and add a widgetsoid widget. (I used the widgetsoid switcher 4*1) The "Switcher" layouts are the ones that include just toggle buttons. As far as I can tell, it is also the only widget you can place in the notifications bar.
Once you select a widget layout, the widget settings will open. Add the buttons you want to the widget (different categories of buttons are grouped by the tabs at the bottom).
Select the advanced tab and check the boxes labeled "Notification" and "Widget Invisible" to move the widget entirely to the notification bar (where settings belong)! Selecting "Notification" will prompt a profile name. Anything works here.
Select the Apply tab.
This should allow the app to place the toggle buttons in the notification bar. If you want to change the appearance, buttons, etc for the widget, simply open the general settings, select the widgets tab and then select the widget you want to change. Just remember to use the Apply tab to save any changes.
----------------------------
I also had to change the colors... I put a blue with white background and I also have a green bar underneath for active. It had white on white and I couldn't see the buttons when I first pulled it down. Also to get the Flash light to work I used "Method 2" under Flash led
