Yes, this can definitely be done. Hiding the icon is very easy, but providing
another way
to access it is not, but I'll look into doing it. I don't know about
BetterTouchTool, but
Growl does the same.

Upon some further investigation, creating the preference pane is trivial, as is
having it
communicate with the main app. I'd also have to switch to using a .pkg file for
installing, so I'm now investigating if Sparkle (the auto-update framework)
will support
switching from dmg to pkg.

If you remove or hide the menu icon, then how will you manage the settings or
quit the app? I think a better solution would be for someone to write a little
utility that does something similar to what the Windows taskbar does. Put the
running apps/utilities in a little pull down container. if there is a new
notification or action needed it would show up in the menu bar outside of the
container and would be there like normal.

The only way to do it is how Growl does it - by adding a system preference pane
(or having a global shortcut, but that's really ugly).
It's doable, but quite a bit of work (specially to keep both things), which is
why I'm postponing it in favor of higher-priority changes.

Another +1 for this feature request, my menubar real estate is at a premium and
I'd love to hide Android Notifier (particularly if a PrefPane could replace
it).
Also, it seems there's a fair amount of dead space on both sides of the current
menubar icon; the gap between it and the menubar icon to either side of it is
about 1.5 times the size of the gap between all my other menubar icons. See
attached screenshot.

You can already do this with the multiplatform app. See CommandLine wiki page
for details. Basically, you have to run it with -t option like:
"/Applications/Android Notifier Desktop/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub" -t
If you want to change some preferences, stop it with -s option and run it with
tray icon so you can open the preferences window. You can run it with -p to
show preferences immediately.

We should add a GUI option for this, then - perhaps an option to choose between:
* Showing the menubar/system tray/etc. icon
* Showing on the task bar/dock
* Showing both
* Showing none
Not sure how to bring up preferences when showing none.

here's one: by starting the app again. check if it is already running and if
so, then trigger (send?) an event (special notification?) that brings up the
window
just an idea

As Peter said, the most common way I've found of doing this is by running the
application again to bring up preferences. That or just doing it the hard way
by creating a preference pane.

+1 Yes I think the most common practice is to create a preference pane. But I
also like Peter's idea of launching the prefs when you launch the app. Similar
to what Alfred App was doing. Sounds like a great solution until down the road.
