You can't. You can do one or the other, not both.

From the NSStatusItem reference doc for setMenu:
When set, the receiver’s single click action behavior is not used.

Put in your method to call while clicking on the status item this code:
Code: 
[theStatusItem popUpStatusItemMenu:theStatusMenu]

So for example:
Code: 
- (void) awakeFromNib{
    statusItem = [[[NSStatusBar systemStatusBar] statusItemWithLength:NSSquareStatusItemLength] retain];
	
    [statusItem setAction:@selector(statusItemClicked)];
    [statusItem setTarget:self];
}

- (void)statusItemClicked {
    [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:10 target:self selector:@selector(showMenu) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];
    [NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];
    
    [statusItem popUpStatusItemMenu:statusMenu];
}

Hope that helps.
