Hi,

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/ionicframework/original/3X/a/1/a15855d7721adf62636c6c6ca6a4c0d00cd85a5b.jpg)  
I was wondering if there is a capability to create a notification circle like that of “Facebook Messenger” in ionic.

My customers requirement is to have such a notification with a couple of data points in it. And this circle should persist on top of all apps and the user should be able re-position it to any place in the screen just like the messenger circle. And on touching the circle the app should open in a specific page.

Cheers,

SD

Doing a little digging, this is possible but only if you’re willing/able to write a native plugin.

Hey Thank you Scott.

I found that as well. I guess for now it can be concluded that such a capability is a no for now on Ionic but it can be done by interfacing an android native capability as a call out from my ionic code.

Let me try it and come back.

Cheers,

SD

Maybe check something like [Microsoft Ace](http://microsoft.github.io/ace/) out?
