How do I detect touches on UIStatusBar/iPhone

Question

I'm trying to detect any touch on the iPhone's UIStatusBar but its not working. I've tried subclassing UIApplication and UIWindow to access it but still nothing.

Based on Tom's answer, I wrote the code. It works well.

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // required
    UIScrollView *scrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
    scrollView.delegate = self;
    scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(0.0f,1.0f);
    [scrollView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0.0f,1.0f) animated:NO];
    // optional
    scrollView.scrollsToTop = YES; // default is YES.
    [self.view addSubview:scrollView];
}

- (BOOL)scrollViewShouldScrollToTop:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
    NSLog(@"Detect status bar is touched.");
    /* Your own code. */
    return NO;
}
