How can an app display a banner ad on the user's homescreen?

Question

One of the apps on my phone is showing banner ads on my homescreen after the phone has been idle for some period of time. Touching outside of the ad hides the AdView. Take a look at the photo below:

I'm not sure which specific app is the cause. How did the developer accomplish this? How is he adding the AdView to the home screen?

Android 2.3

Thanks!

This may be cause of the background service is running in the background so you view the adds in your home screen . Please check the following documentation Android background service and http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html
