I intend to create an app that will be overlayed on top of the normal "home" Android screen.

I have only seen this done before with the Facebook Messenger app: it puts a floating, draggable icon in the homescreen whenever I get a message, and if touched it opens on top of everything else.

I would like to make an app that can show animated graphics similarly floating around on top of the homescreen, with user interaction possible.

My most preferred way would be with Adobe AIR. :-) But that might be too much to ask. :-)

My second best preferred way to do it would be through Visual Studio 2015 C++, i.e. the Android NDK. Is it possible? Or is the standard Java SDK the only way to go?

Bonus PS. I haven't said anything about iOS cause I assume it is not possible at all on that platform. Or is it?
