I had a similar problem where I wanted to add a loading indicator on top of my UITableViewController. To solve this, I added my UIView as a subview of the window. That solved the problem. This is how I did it.

-(void)viewDidLoad{
[super viewDidLoad];
//get the app delegate
XYAppDelegate *delegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];

//define the position of the rect based on the screen bounds
CGRect loadingViewRect = CGRectMake(self.view.bounds.size.width/2, self.view.bounds.size.height/2, 50, 50);
//create the custom view. The custom view is a property of the VIewController
self.loadingView = [[XYLoadingView alloc] initWithFrame:loadingViewRect];
//use the delegate's window object to add the custom view on top of the view controller
[delegate.window addSubview: loadingView]; 
}
