I think the only way that it can be done is to incorporate it into a "Live Wallpaper", the downside is as others have mentioned it will take a serious toll on battery life.

this interesting, Live Wallpaper runs on Android 2.1 or higher.

As cool as that is, we should note that it will basically kill your phone’s battery life.

Yeah, It is very much possible. In Android MediaPlayer Class, there is method setSurface (Surface surface). Using this method you can play video on any surface. Get the surface from Wallpaper Engine and play video on this.
