It is known as notification push advertising of companies like
AirPush, LeadBolt ...

Run 'Addons Detector' and 'AirPush Detector' to find out when one of these AirPush addons is in one of your free apps.
With 'Addons Detector' use the filter 'Push Notifications'.
Free apps which contain such kind of addon you should uninstall and you'll get rid of this notification bar spam
