Is there any reference to make an application to have a transparent background and looks like notification, so wallpaper still remain in the background when my apps running when my wallpaper has a blur effect ?

  • In iOS 13, this is finally possible! See my answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/56592568/7840155 – Tzar Jun 14 '19 at 06:51

No I don't think it's possible. Here is a link to an answer that suggests a private method that allowed the functionality in iOS7.

The comments note that the private method stopped working from iOS 8.2

I imagine Apple didn't like the idea of Apps being able to either

  • Fake the home screen whilst still inside an app (users might get confused and enter bank details into a fake banking app)
  • Allow apps to capture a user's background

It's a shame because it could add to some nice effects like those used in iBooks and the iOS dialler.
