Is it possible to make an Android/iPhone app which will show info on a locked screen?

I want to make an app (for both Android and iPhone) where user puts some info to the app and that info (text) will be then permanently shown on a lock screen. Is it possible to make something like this? If yes, how please?

You can't show any info permanently on lock screen on iOS. There is no App Extension for that. But, something close to that can be done by creating Today Widget in iOS. The widget can be viewable even when device is locked. You just need to swipe down. For more info on creating it. Please look into the following tutorial:

Seems you can only add notifications. What you are referring to would involve jailbreaking.
