Insert Android view at the top of the view hierarchy
<p>I would like to know if it is possible to add a view to the top of the view hierarchy for my Android App. Currently, I have a class that receives information from an external service. I would like to display information received as a custom alert to the user. Is it possible to insert this custom view at the top of the global view hierarchy, so that it shows above all other views. I would prefer not to start a new activity, just add the view on top of what is currently being shown. </p>
