A clever use of SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW could achieve what you are looking for.

Allows an application to open windows using the type TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT, shown on top of all other applications. Very few applications should use this permission; these windows are intended for system-level interaction with the user.

Constant Value: "android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"

After creating a Service that handles the creation and data population of your popup view, you call it like this:

startService(new Intent(context, MyCustomService.class));

More information can be found here, and here.
