No I don't think it's possible. Here is a link to an answer that suggests a private method that allowed the functionality in iOS7.

The comments note that the private method stopped working from iOS 8.2

I imagine Apple didn't like the idea of Apps being able to either

  • Fake the home screen whilst still inside an app (users might get confused and enter bank details into a fake banking app)
  • Allow apps to capture a user's background

It's a shame because it could add to some nice effects like those used in iBooks and the iOS dialler.
