(Android) How to get the percentages indicator inside the battery icon, just like it is in Android Marshmallow

Android 6 Marshmallow is coming to bring about some welcome changes to Android. From functional, under-the-hood changes like Doze mode, entirely new features like Android Pay and native fingerprint support, to some pure cosmetic changes, like placing the battery percentage indicator inside the battery icon in the status bar.

So, if you don't own a Nexus, chances are good that it'll take a while before you get some sweet soft Marshmallow on your phone. Well, there's still bound to be ways to emulate some of its cosmetic features – like the app drawer, for example. In this tutorial, we will show you how to hide that battery percentage number in the battery icon itself, effectively freeing some space on your notifications bar.
