You need to simply call

windowManager.removeView(yourView);

to remove whatever view has been added as a ChatHead. For the close button you need to override the onTouch behaviour. Although I don't have any ready sample for this but I would suggest you to make a close button on your Chathead . When the user clicks on the close button you can remove the view from window manager

You maybe calling it multiple times – Ajit Pratap Singh Aug 12 '14 at 10:00
Are you sure that your view was added before you called removeView() – Ajit Pratap Singh Aug 12 '14 at 10:06
