I want to create a customized popup over the android’s incoming call screen where I wish to add information for the user.
I want the popup to not disable any clickability from the background so that the user could still answer the call.

I know it is possible since many applications do it, e.g. MeZeZe app:
enter image description here

Some more information:

  1. A translucent theme did not work since it cancels the former activity’s clickability.
  2. A toast is not an option – I don’t want it to disappear.
  3. I know there are many similar threads – I read many of them and none answer my specific problem.
  4. I already know how to “make something happen” once a call is receiver, so no need for INCOMING_CALL activity tips.

Would appreciate any help!
Thanks

    If you want to keep the Call activity still clickable, but not have any controls on your overlay, you can do this by calling

    getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCHABLE);
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL);

    In the onCreate() method of the activity that is shown over the call.

    The layout parameters useable together with this are:

    android:windowBackground="@android:color/transparent" 
android:windowIsTranslucent="true" 
android:windowAnimationStyle="@android:style/Animation.Translucent"
