What are the iPhone activities that change the height of the status bar?

What activities/events trigger the height of the status bar to change on the iPhone?

For example: When an application is visited while in a phone call the height of the status bar [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarFrame] is 40 instead of it's normal height of 20.

The iOS Simulator has an option Hardware>Toggle In-Call Status Bar. When that is selected the UIApplicationWillChangeStatusBarFrameNotification and UIApplicationDidChangeStatusBarFrameNotification are posted.

What user actions and/or phone actions cause this to happen? Are there any activities besides phone calls that cause the status bar to be taller than 20 pts?

  • @Bogatyr is right, Internet tethering is one.

    Audio recording (such as with the voicememos.app) is another.
