You can open the apk and check the manifest for it. It is a normal zip file, and you can get it with most app managers — jadkik94, Jan 02 '13 at 22:03

It is probably

android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW

This would make sense as system alert windows do draw on top of everything.

You can see this in the source here http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/4.0.1_r1/frameworks/base/core/res/AndroidManifest.xml – Simon Jan 02 '13 at 21:53
I have no idea, I haven't actually coded something like this. I'm guessing since it is a system level alert, it can be transparent touch wise (pass off touch events to whatever it is over). – A--C Jan 02 '13 at 22:00
