You have probably fixed it or moved on but just in case:

The reason its not responding is because I could not get TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY to respond to touch events. The way to do this is use the type TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT and to use the flags:

 WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT,
 WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE
        | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL

Then it should respond correctly with the rest of your code.
