One of the best things about Facebook messenger (other messengers may have this) is the chat head feature which places a movable small circle overlay displaying the avatar of the last person you've been talking to over other apps/home screen. The overlay alerts you to when you receive messages and you can click on it to bring a full screen chat overlay. This allows you to talk with someone easily, whilst doing other things on the phone such as reading, by quickly switching between screens. It also looks pretty cool IMO.\r\n\r\nA couple of posts about how to implement something similar:\r\n\r\nhttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/15995297/how-is-facebook-chat-heads-implemented\r\n\r\nhttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/15975988/what-apis-in-android-is-facebook-using-to-create-chat-heads\r\n\r\nAnd I believe Spotify does something quite similar."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/subliun/Antox/issues/comments/167871966","html_url":"https://github.com/subliun/Antox/issues/234#issuecomment-167871966","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/subliun/Antox/issues/234","id":167871966,"user":{"login":"LuccoJ","id":1684791,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1684791?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/LuccoJ","html_url":"https://github.com/LuccoJ","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/LuccoJ/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/LuccoJ/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/LuccoJ/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/LuccoJ/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/LuccoJ/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/LuccoJ/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/LuccoJ/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/LuccoJ/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/LuccoJ/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-29T20:29:56Z","updated_at":"2015-12-29T20:29:56Z","body":"\"Very few applications should use this permission; these windows are intended for system-level interaction with the user.\"\r\n\r\nThis seems like a hack that is neither meant nor appropriate for an instant messenger, and I'd personally boo Facebook and Spotify for using it, rather than championing its imitation in other clients. We already have notifications."}}
