  • Think we need more information, because yes this is possible but you must mean something specific as you've asked the question? – Bex Nov 08 '11 at 11:08
  • I would like to create mobile notifier application. E.g. when e-mail arrives message is push to home screen. This picture shows exactly what I want: [notification](http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/android/devguide/images/custom_toast.png). Is it possible to do it? – Ziem Nov 08 '11 at 11:15
  • Ah.. I understand now.. that is not something I have done before so I don't know. (it is something I would like to do though with sms so would love to see how you do it!) Does this help? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4025082/android-toast-started-from-service-only-displays-once I assume it's from a service? – Bex Nov 08 '11 at 11:31

Make a background service for your application, which receives any notification (For new SMS or EMAIL) from Broadcast Receiver and when it receives event, just display a Toast from your service.
