Using <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW" /> is depraced and this permission need to be granted manually by the user

ya that's true but when add run time check permissions this code will work as charm :) add these lines to your code,

if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) { if (!Settings.canDrawOverlays(this)) { Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION, Uri.parse("package:" + getPackageName())); startActivityForResult(intent, 1234); } else { Intent intent = new Intent(PassengerPickupActivity.this, OverlayService.class); startService(intent); } } else { Intent intent = new Intent(PassengerPickupActivity.this, OverlayService.class); startService(intent); }
