Android - status bar prevents full screen


My app correctly runs in full screen when it's started. However after minimizing and then returning to the app, the status bar pops up and pushes my views down a little. How can I keep the status bar from moving my views?

Here is my layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:myapp="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.example.draw"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
    <com.example.draw.DrawView 
        android:id="@+id/draw"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:visibility="visible"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="false"
    />      
<com.admob.android.ads.AdView     
       android:id="@+id/ad" 
       android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       myapp:backgroundColor="#000000"
       myapp:primaryTextColor="#FFFFFF"
       myapp:secondaryTextColor="#CCCCCC"
       android:layout_gravity="bottom"
/>     

Here is part of my activity's onCreate:

requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);  

I also have the fullscreen theme in the manifest:

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

Thanks
