it looks like your addView() method is failing. I've fixed that issue (in some cases) using WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE for Android SDK under 8.0 and WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY for 8.0 and above. You could add some automatic selection in order to grant major compatibility (depending on the active SDK platform) but since Google Play doesn't allows APKs under 8.0, it's clearly unnecessary. Hope it helps.
