Any solution will appreciated.

what you are looking in the image above "heads up notificcation" (feature added after android 4.3)
link :heads up notification
set priority of notification as high so as to display it on screen head
hope this helps
it's a headsup notification works from android lollipop
here you check how to show notification you can see here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html
and for headsup you have to set notification priority as below
.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_HIGH)
hope it helps
EDIT Nov-17
Notification.PRIORITY_HIGH was deprecated in API level 26. use (NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH) instead.
It can be done via Headsup notification. It is feature of Andorid L
so by code here is demo
Notification createNotification(boolean makeHeadsUpNotification) {
Notification.Builder notificationBuilder = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_DEFAULT)
.setContentTitle("Sample Notification")
.setContentText("This is a normal notification.");
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT> Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT)
{
notificationBuilder.setCategory(Notification.CATEGORY_MESSAGE);
}
if (makeHeadsUpNotification) {
Intent push = new Intent();
push.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
push.setClass(this, IndexActivity.class);
PendingIntent fullScreenPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
push, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);
notificationBuilder
.setContentText("Heads-Up Notification on Android L or above.")
.setFullScreenIntent(fullScreenPendingIntent, true);
}
return notificationBuilder.build();
}
you can call it like
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context
.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mNotificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, createNotification(
true));
