Show a message in the app status bar
Use the cordova CLI:
cordova plugin add https://github.com/willshaw/phonegap-status-message.git
For Android add a status_message_icon.png to the res/drawable folders, this is required for the notification icon.
Thanks to MPJHorner for pointing out this requires the QuartzCore framework to work with iOS - doesn't compile without
cordova plugin remove com.willshawmedia.phonegap.StatusMessage
