Popup showing during game play is not wanted

Can anyone explain what this window is? My pinball soccer game has a two player mode and sometimes the top player, while dragging and firing his flippers, drags this window out from the top edge.

How can I prevent this from happening?

P.S.
Is there a way to embed images in a forum post? [import]uid: 23636 topic_id: 19628 reply_id: 319628[/import]

That is the built-in message center that comes with iOS5. I don’t think there is any way to disable it.

It is available all the time during any app by swiping your finger down from the top of the screen. [import]uid: 8444 topic_id: 19628 reply_id: 75824[/import]

What you could do is force your app to run only in Landscape orientation in your build.settings. Then the notifications tab would be at one of the long sides and not the short ones. [import]uid: 70391 topic_id: 19628 reply_id: 75834[/import]

Is there a system event that I can listen for that tells me the notification message board has been activated? [import]uid: 23636 topic_id: 19628 reply_id: 76045[/import]
