I built a very simple code snippet to address this issue programatically. I have a timer set-up in my app delegate that runs every .2 seconds each time it runs it keeps moving the status bar orientation so it doesn't impact the game play. I haven't experienced the annoying notification center in my app since! The only issue is the volume control rotates constantly and might be annoying but it's less annoying than notification center

int tick=0;

-(void)toggleNC
{
     [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES]; 
    tick++;
    if (tick==1)
    {
     [[UIApplication sharedApplication]   setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft];
    }
    if (tick==2){
         [[UIApplication sharedApplication]     setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight];
    }
    if (tick==3){
      [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait];
   }
    if (tick==4){
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown];
        tick=0;

    }
}
