/**
 `AFNetworkActivityIndicatorManager` manages the state of the network activity indicator in the status bar. When enabled, it will listen for notifications indicating that a network request operation has started or finished, and start or stop animating the indicator accordingly. The number of active requests is incremented and decremented much like a stack or a semaphore, and the activity indicator will animate so long as that number is greater than zero.
 
 @discussion By setting `isNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible` to `YES` for `sharedManager`, the network activity indicator will show and hide automatically as requests start and finish. You should not ever need to call `incrementActivityCount` or `decrementActivityCount` yourself.
