I solved my problem using PictureInPictureParams as follows

First i created a Button (enter_pip) in my xml and in the OnClick i coded the following :

enter_pip.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
             if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 26) {
                //Trigger PiP mode
                try {
                    Rational rational = new Rational(youTubeView.getWidth(), youTubeView.getHeight());

                    PictureInPictureParams mParams =
                            new PictureInPictureParams.Builder()
                                    .setAspectRatio(rational)
                                    .build();

                    enterPictureInPictureMode(mParams);
                } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            } else {
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "API 26 needed to perform PiP", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        }

    });

I also added the following attributes in my AndroidManifest to my PipActivity to support Picture in Picture in my Activity

<activity
        android:name=".PipActivity"
        android:launchMode="singleTask"
        android:supportsPictureInPicture="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar" />
