Other than phone function icons such as WiFi, GPS, 3G, Bluetooth, clock, etc, I have never seen another icon in the status/notification bar up top that was
not also in the notifications list when the bar is pulled down. At least that is how my EVO 4G is.
Not saying there isn't a way to put an icon up there without showing it as a notification in the pull-down list, but if so then I don't know anything about that.
