Is there an equivalent of Android Overlays for UWP?

Is it possible to overlay a Control (or any UIElement) used in the windows universal platform so it appears on the user's screen regardless on what app he is using? Something similar to: http://www.addictivetips.com/android/overlays-for-android-floating-widgets/

Nope, there isn't!

Simple reason: the apps written for the Universal Windows Platform may run on any device. The current core library, which applies to all devices, doesn't contain any API for your required use-case. Neither does the any of the API contracts nor any of the Device Family specifc contracts offer such an API.

If you want a little bit background information about the WHY, you can take a deeper look into this short introduction about the Universal Windows Platform.
