Happy to Announce that the downloads count on Google Play Market for Energy Bar is now 50,000+, thank you guys!
UPDATE C: Check the Attachment for Version EB_3.1, addresses some bugs. Let me know how is it working.
UPDATE B: Just released an updated version of Energy Bar (EB_3) on Google Play Market, before you get all excited, this update is completely focused on stability/performance. I completely rewrote the code (made a big structural change), I would consider this update as an essential major internal update. Also, it should now perform better during the charging animation.
But, just to not totally disappoint you guys, I have added the following few things that is visual:
#1 The center animation is now more symmetrical (two pulses.)
#2 Custom Colors!!
#3 Thickness is now controllable to the level of pixels (larger devices can make the Bar even more thicker now.)
And lastly, am not abandoning the project with this update, I have got all the list of feature requests made so far since the first release, will be adding one by one.
PLEASE RATE THE APP WITH THE STARS IT DESERVES ON GOOGLE PLAY MARKET

Greetings!
Many of you who had a Windows Mobile past like me, might be very well familiar with the inspiration behind this application I created, temporarily called as Energy Bar. I saw a couple of Android versions as well, including the one which comes bundled with MIUI custom roms. So, here is my implementation of it (Video Below):

What it does?
- Puts an Energy Bar at the top of the screen which indicates current battery level on any screen.
- Every time the battery goes down by 1%, the bar glows red and then reduces, if the level reaches <= 20 no more glowing!
- Plug-in any AC power source to start pulsating animation. The animation is detailed enough to let you know where was your battery level when you initially plugged in and what is it's current level during the whole process of charging.
- A customizer interface to choose between three colors, Activate/Deactivate, auto start on boot.
- The color chosen is always saved and used when the service is activated/deactivated, crashed and restarted, auto start on boot.
- When customizer interface is closed by clicking "Close and run in background....", only the bar runs which takes around 3 to 4 MB static RAM.
- The load on the CPU is 0% when the AC source is not plugged in. The service gets activated only when battery is reduced.
