For a rooted device you can take screenshots and make a video based on those screenshots using FFMPEG or JavaCV.

Actually this topic have been discussed several times.

Here's an example of How to get root access and get your screenshot.

if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(Environment
        .getExternalStorageState())) {

    // we check if external storage is\ available, otherwise
    // display an error message to the user using Toast Message
    File sdCard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
    File directory = new File(sdCard.getAbsolutePath() + "/ScreenShots");
    directory.mkdirs();

    String filename = "screenshot_jpeg_" + i + ".png";
    File yourFile = new File(directory, filename);



    try {
        Process sh = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su", null, null);
        OutputStream os = sh.getOutputStream();
        os.write(("/system/bin/screencap -p " + "/sdcard/ScreenShots/" + filename).getBytes("ASCII"));


        os.flush();
        os.close();
        sh.waitFor();
        i++;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

You can check other solutions on the following topic and here for FFMPEG

Fortunately, this is not possible, except perhaps on rooted devices, for obvious privacy and security reasons. An app cannot record what other apps show on the screen.
