You can add own view to screen (WindowManager.addView). But in need permission SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW.

Or, better, create custom dialog with custom LayoutParams. Must important - set type to TYPE_PHONE or TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT.

It display over other app.

NO don't use transparent background use a service like this example it explains it well and could take you in the right direction. http://www.piwai.info/chatheads-basics/

Or you could use standout. https://github.com/pingpongboss/StandOut

I haven't tried standout yet but it looks good.
