Implement the `lightning:utilityItem` interface to allow a component to be included in the utility bar.

Components that implement this interface are added to the app through the Select Utility Items milestone in Setup.

The provided supportsPopOut attribute can be set to false in implementing components in order to disable pop-out functionality for those components if desired.

The following example demonstrates implementing this interface and opting the component out of pop-out functionality

```html
<aura:component implements="lightning:utilityItem">
  <aura:attribute name="supportsPopOut" type="Boolean" default="false" />
</aura:component>
```
