it is possible to place a graphic on the service the code is this:

li = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        wm = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);

        WindowManager.LayoutParams params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
                //WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_INPUT_METHOD |
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY,// | WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT,
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL,
                PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);

        params.gravity = Gravity.RIGHT | Gravity.TOP;
        myview = li.inflate(R.layout.traslucent, null);     

        wm.addView(myview, params);
