Slide up from the bottom of the screen (i.e mirror of notifications). It's so obvious, and comes with immediate cancellability of a potentially spurious move (not that I get much for notifications) if the animation is tied to the finger position (again, like notification center). The current implementation literally begs for it since notification center was introduced and it's not like it would need some insane amount of development.

It would probably get inadvertently triggered all the time at the bottom if it was that simple. It's bad enough having the entire top of the screen be a bad-touch zone.
What do you think of the current slide-up-with-four-fingers gesture?
Impractical on a phone.
