I am developing an wear app, i want the app icon to be display on top of window above the watch face. I have tried using WindowManager but failed to get the result.

WindowManager.LayoutParams params=new WindowManager.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE, PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);

   params.gravity= Gravity.CENTER|Gravity.CENTER;
   params.x=160;
   params.y=160;

   windowManager=(WindowManager)getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
   windowManager.addView(mfloatview,params);

my question is it possible to add an floating app icon in android wear?

I'm not sure if this feature (Display app icon on top of all window) is available. But you can try checking the documentation - Watch Face Complications.

A complication is any feature in a watch face that displays more than hours and minutes. For example, a battery indicator is a complication. The Complications API is for both watch faces and data provider apps.

Just like this:

Since you are using Android Wear 2.0, Complication API will be available for use.

Hope this helps.
