It's a very tiny space but I wouldn't be surprised to see someone try sticking ads there. However, it sounds like in the absence of private framework usage, the only way for your app to show anything in the bar at all is for it to be in the foreground. So it would seem like less of an issue than even showing ads on the main screen, where any app can technically create windows that float over all the others and can't be moved by the user.
