It's because you window "fill" all screen. Try this to show an 1px x 1px window :

new WindowManager.LayoutParams( 1, 1,
             WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY,
             WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_WATCH_OUTSIDE_TOUCH |
             WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN,
             PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);

Over and over again tested. I found out that the width + height must not exceed 97% of the screen. – hungtdo Nov 15 '17 at 15:37

first, try this code.

WindowManager.LayoutParams params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
                  WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,      
                  WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,              
                  WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY,   
                  WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_LAYOUT_IN_SCREEN,     
                    PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);

and if you want give position, use this. default position is center.

params.gravity = Gravity.~~~~;

if you want bottom-right position, do as below code

params.gravity = Gravity.BOTTOM | Gravity.RIGHT;

it'll works fine maybe. but still can't click on your view when click install button:can click outside your view when click install button.

This is a security measure in Android. There is no work-around. https://blog.lookout.com/blog/2010/12/09/android-touch-event-hijacking/
