I searched this topic and couldn't find anything on it.
Is there a way to make interactive icons on the home screen?
for example there is "clean master" that after you click an icon of it, it make an animation. Also there is this facebook thing where you get a message and an icon with the profile picture of the one that messaged you pops up.
I can't figure out or find a way to implement this kind of stuff..
I would be happy if any one could give me some kind of direction..
Thanks in advance.
for example there is "clean master" that after you click an icon of it,

The icon doesn't animate. When you click on it, a new transparent Activity opens which the icon at the same position where the original icon is. The animations happens entirely on the activity.
The activity is transparent so you get a feel that the icon itself is animating. If you notice carefully, you can find the navigation bar coming up if you tap somewhere while its animating.
Also there is this facebook thing where you get a message and an icon
with the profile picture of the one that messaged you pops up.
It is know as Chat Heads. You ca create your own, but it an take some time and is a bit involving. If you are a beginner and/or you are in a hurry, you can use this library. I have used it and it works perfectly.
The general answer if you want activity on the home screen is to implement a widget.

I want to implement a side drawer widget. I don't know if I am using the right words or not. A small icon will be placed on the left/right side of the screen, if it is swiped, it should open an activity. If I close it, it should remain on the side of the screen until application is closed from the inside. I have seen this in an application and I am posting screen shot too.
Notice the image hint on the left side. Its always there even if we press home button:
I searched for it but didn't find anything. I guess it's because I am not searching with the correct words maybe? It would be great if I knew the name of this widget.
I do not find on Internet, what is the name of this button ?
And I want to know what is the exact action when an application is deleted like this :
With this action, the application is not really stopped

I have a news app.It is supposed to launch by swiping on the screen(homescreen or while in any other activity like switchr app).I learned to code swiping patterns but in my case I have to do exactly in the following way(swiping bottom right to top left)..Kindly have a look over following pictorial representation
1.Firstly app should launch by swiping bottom right to top left on the screen
2.next,show the user with list of scrollable arc menu buttons embedded in it like second image
3.when a user clicks on particular button it has to show a brief description about the content like third image
my problems:
creating arc like scrollable menu on bottom right side of the screen(I googled sia ahmed's solution over here ,it helped me a bit)
creating that parachute like structure(image 3) when user clicks particular bubble like button in arc menu..
please guide me
For the menu check out arcmenu by daCapricorn on github. Also see this question.
The balloon bit is trickier. I know of a balloon hint code for android but i haven't seen it in action.

So I have implemented my application's Quick Search Box. Everything is going fine, but the icon that appears on the left side of the search box is my application's launcher icon. But I would like to customize it dynamically.
I would like to know if it's possible, and if so, how can I achieve?
Thanks in advance.
can any body tell me the solution for this , my problem is when run the application i my emulator in menu it display's more icons nearly 18 icons for one application. tell me the solution for this.
Edit Ans:
I defined each activity the main and launch property, because of that i got every activity being shown as an icon in the applications.
If they are just shortcuts which appear on the desktop, then left click on each one and drag it down to the bottom of the screen, where a 'trash can' icon will appear. Dump them in that.
