If you need show dialog on android home screen. You need to set windows type for that dialog: Example:

val type = if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY
        } else {
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT
        }
dialog?.window?.setType(type )

Hope this help!
