Maybe you can try to set textview a touchListener and make textview full screen

I finally found an answer. 

windowManager = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);

inflater = LayoutInflater.from(PlayAthkarService.this);

textView = new TextView(PlayAthkarService.this);
textView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.floating_window);
textView.setTextSize(20);
textView.setText(athkarString[completed]);
textView.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorPrimaryDark));
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
    params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT
        , WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY,
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH,
        PixelFormat.OPAQUE);
}else {
    params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
            ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT
            , WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PRIORITY_PHONE,
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH,
            PixelFormat.OPAQUE);
}

params.gravity = Gravity.TOP | Gravity.RIGHT ;
params.x = 0;
params.y = 50;

windowManager.addView(textView, params);
