You might want to check out http://www.app-bucks.com/ for a Google compliant replacement for the old notification bar ads. I'm using them and while I'm not pleased with the eCPM figures I guess that something is better than nothing. As a sort of plus my sales for the pro version (no ads) has increased by about 50% since I moved from notification ads to the "slider" ads, I guess the users find them more annoying but I personally think they're pretty cool...
