How can I make my ubuntu 12.04 to display the USB icon on the top bar(together with input method swither,weather indicator...) when I add my disk(any disk) to my pc, not to add it on the launcher bar?

Could you explain a little more what U disk is? Perhaps you can find a picture of what it looks like and post that? – Sepero Jul 3 '12 at 8:03
apologise for my poor Chingish(Chinese English),I mean the removable flash disk, just like Kingston DT101 G2 I got,when I attach it to my computer, A flash disk icon generates on the left unity launcher bar, but I think it's more convenient if it displayed on the top bar – lan.alps Jul 3 '12 at 8:08

There is a USB Safe Removal Indicator

Description

Safely remove USB thumb drives, mounted SD Cards and more with ‘USB Safe Removal application indicator’ (Or Indicator-unmount’ for short ;) ). The tiny app doesn’t sing, it certainly doesn’t dance ,but it does do what it says on the tin: let you quickly eject mounted drives.
