Can i add a view to the top activity in broadcast receiver. 

ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager) mContext
                            .getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
        List<RunningTaskInfo> taskInfo = am.getRunningTasks(1);
        ComponentName componentInfo = taskInfo.get(0).topActivity;

componentInfo.getClassName() returns the class name of the top activity running. I can also get the package name. Can I add a view or some animation on current top activity. I need the layout name in most cases to bind to it but I am not able to figure out how to do it.
