If you are planning on modifying SystemUI, you can find that package in

frameworks/base/packages/SystemUI/

You'll find much of the, well, UI of the system here. It is essentially just another Android app, albeit a very important one. You can find the layouts and source here to make the modifications you're looking for to SystemUI.
