Home screen popup in android

Question

I want to develop an app whereby once the user installs the app,an icon is set on the home screen.Thereafter if the user clicks on the icon,a small popup window displays and floats on the left of the home screen.One can then interact with the app from the popup or can click on a button on the popup and be redirected to the application. See the photos below.

How do i achieve this?

Help will be highly appreciated.

What you'r showing can be achived by using the SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW permission. Take a look at a chathead tutorial to get started!
