[REQ] Chatheads for other apps such as whatsapp - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I do have Facebook but I don't really like a Facebook themed phone. But the chatheads for FB Messenger is ingenious. Anyway to develop an app that enables chathead-like notifications? I know it's only a matter of time before someone does it but hopefully, sooner than later.

The default Whats App shows chat heads on my system. You just need to instal "chat heads" from PS and turn it on in settings from accessibility services.
Every messenger and chat softwares will show chat heads by default , if someone pings back.

It was removed from Google Play. Probably it's a problem of copyright with Facebook's application.

Thank you

Yeah, it works. It's pretty cool. However, the profile picture (talking about Whatsapp) doesn't show (I don't know why), and it's a little too big (slightly bigger than Facebook's ones). Also, the text box isn't as pretty as facebook one.
I'm waiting for the upcoming ParanoidAndroid Halo (copy of FB Chat Heads for every app! Awesome). But writing this, the idea of tweaking this app to make it nicer just came to my mind, while I wait for ParanoidAndroid update (it could be tomorrow, it could be next month).

Is it the same as this app?

Well, yes now. It looks like this "dev" has gotten the Scoomba's app and updated it, or something. By the logo, the version number structure, and the screenshots, yes it is this one!

---

Ok thanks. Unfortunately all it does is to display the bubble it's not really a chat, but that's fine.
BTW, Is the apk that was uploaded here safe (not malicious)?

Yes, it's just a bubble.
About safety, I don't know, you'll have to trust deciocavallo... I found the apk before he posted it, I can't remember where.
Anyway, the market app is more updated, although I'm not sure I trust the dev, since the apps look like a copy of the ones by Scoompa... I tried it but I'm uninstalling it now.
PS: If you want to know, I use NotifierPro Plus, which works for all apps and is more customizable (although is not a bubble, but you can make popups or topbar notifications, which are pretty awesome).

Chat Heads
Hi,
I have just published the Whatsapp Chat Heads Notification. You can read messages without updating "last seen time". Here is the market URL:
Please search dregens on Play Store.
If you have good ideas, I will be glad to develop.
