One of the new features that Google showed off in Android L last week was a new way of displaying notifications in a floating window that will pop up over running apps. If you want to get an idea of how this may work without installing Android L and you have a device running Android 4.3 or 4.4, you may want to check out the new Heads Up! app fro XDA member Dr.Alexander_Breen.
Heads Up! will let you whitelist apps that should display their notifications as “heads up” type floating windows. You can also toggle the options to ignore things like ongoing notification or silent notifications. The app can also be set to only show the floating notifications when using your device in full screen mode, such as when watching a movie or playing a game.
Check out the video and screenshots below that show how Heads Up! works. If you want to give it a try, it is only 99 cents on Google Play.
