Facebook introduced something great along with Facebook Home – chat heads. You’re probably already familiar with them, but the general gist of the feature is notification bubbles that appear on the screen, in which you can directly deal with the notification in an overlaying panel. The feature was initially available for only Facebook Messenger, but Paranoid Android expanded the feature to include notifications for all apps in the HALO feature of their ROM. Now a developer by the name of crazyfool_1 has also developed the feature to support all apps with his Floating Notifications app.
Right now, Floating Notifications is a great concept, and supports most apps, but is still a little confusing to use. Set-up is easy, but the controls and gestures are a little hard to get used to, as they aren’t exactly the same as Messenger. Still, the app is pretty cool and worth a download, and you can try it out by downloading the APK from the source link. Try it out and let us know what you think.
