How to add legend to the Figure?

I have a plot for which I am trying add legends. I am trying to add the shaded rectangles as well in legend. Please note that the rectangles are object. But they are not appearing in the legend.

I have also added the part of my code for reference. How can I add legend for the rectangle with a small same color rectagle as symbol?

% plot data
h = figure;
plot(xWithTone,yWithTone,'Color',[0.9 0.7 0.1],'LineWidth',1);
hold on;
plot(xNormalized,yNormalized,'b','LineWidth',1);
plot(xNormalized(1),yNormalized(1),'go','MarkerSize',10,'LineWidth',2);
plot(xNormalized(end),yNormalized(end),'ro','MarkerSize',10,'LineWidth',2);

% set figure limit
maze = {'maze2','maze1','maze3','maze4'};
figureLimit = {{[-0.2 1.2],[-0.2 1.2]},{[-1.2 0.2],[-0.2 1.2]}, ...
    {[-1.2 0.2],[-1.2 0.2]},{[-0.2 1.2],[-1.2 0.2]}};
% get the index in maze array
mazeIndex = find(ismember(maze,subject_data.mazenumber));
xlim(figureLimit{mazeIndex}{1}); ylim(figureLimit{mazeIndex}{2});
% create rectangles
switch mazeIndex
    case 1

This question might help you, the answer here was to create dummy patches with the same color as the general object.

Thank you! Let me check it out.

Done, thank you for your help!

I made patches of same color as rectangle to add legends for them. Also added handle to plot functions to make it uniform with patch objects while adding legends.

% plot normalized data
h = figure;
p1 = plot(xWithTone,yWithTone,'Color',[0.9 0.7 0.1],'LineWidth',1);
hold on;
p2 = plot(xNormalized,yNormalized,'b','LineWidth',1);
mrkr1 = plot(xNormalized(1),yNormalized(1),'go','MarkerSize',10,'LineWidth',2);
mrkr1 = plot(xNormalized(end),yNormalized(end),'ro','MarkerSize',10,'LineWidth',2);

% some more code
%
% gray patch
grayPatch = patch(nan,nan,'k');grayPatch.FaceColor = [0.3 0.3 0.3];
grayPatch.FaceAlpha = 0.3;grayPatch.EdgeColor = "none";
% yellow patch
yellowPatch = patch(nan,nan,'k');yellowPatch.FaceColor = [1 1 0];
yellowPatch.FaceAlpha = 0.3;yellowPatch.EdgeColor = "none";
% red patch
redPatch = patch(nan,nan,'k');redPatch.FaceColor = [1 0 0];
redPatch.FaceAlpha = 0.2;redPatch.EdgeColor = "none";
% add legend
legend([p1,p2,mrkr1,mrkr2,grayPatch,yellowPatch,redPatch], ...
    {'before trial tone','after trial tone','location at tone','final location', ...
    'feeders','offer','central zone'},'Location','northeastoutside');
