Battery Percentage Without Interfering with Expanded Notifications?

[Who?]

I've been noticing that when something is pinned to the top of your notification Window shade, you don't get enhanced notifications. From what I've seen from a couple of apps, if you have a battery percentage on your notification bar, that means that the app has to pin itself to the top of the shade, so no enhanced notifications.

Have other people noticed this? Is there a way around this?
