Android How can i intercept the Status Bar Notifications?

Question

i would want to know if i can intercept a notification from Status Bar. The purpose of this is to somehow intercept an incoming a gmail and do something with it, i don't really need the content of the email, but it would be nicer. But since gmail had stopped the access to receiver and db, i am trying to find a workaround solution by listen the Status Bar if even this is possible. Any ideas ?
