Sorry for the question being too abstract but I really need fresh ideas.
I'm looking for a way to have multimedia keys, volume up and down and several other controls placed into an action bar in Android. Similar to the system action bar (with back and home button) I want the custom one to be visible all the time and on top of every other application's activity. The device to be used is rooted so this might make things easier. I specialize mostly in iOS development that's why I need your help.
Please if somebody has any idea please share it. I just need a direction to start.
EDIT: Sorry it seems like I haven't been understood correctly. What I meant is I want an action bar on top of every application. (Imagine the Facebook messanger's bubbles).
EDIT 2: Solution has been found: Creating a system overlay window (always on top)
