I want to develop search bar like bellow image just like showing in Google search bar. How to achieve this. Please some can provide sample code or related links to achieve it.
I assume the actual question here is not how to create a widget (if it is, check the official Android documentation on widgets), but how you can enable a widget to receive text input, which, as far as i am aware, is not possible using standard widget elements.
You will probably have to try the way discussed over here - creating a transparent activity when your widget is tapped.

It seem that is now possible to write some text inside the lockscreen in the place where the alarm is usually written.
Please have a look red area in the below image.
This is supported on android 4.2 and up.
You need to implement it via an App Widget. You can checkout the documentation here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html#lockscreen
Depending on your requirements, you could possibly use Notifications, which appear on the lockscreen.

How can I add an icon next to the search orb, just as displayed below? I'd like to display a login page when the user clicks on the icon.
You can't, if you want to use the standard widgets offered by the Leanback library, such as BrowseFragment.
There is a way of creating your own version of the BrowseFragment widget, so that it is fully customizable and you can add as many buttons as you like, but it is definitely not easy to do. I've written a series of posts on this subject, which you can find here:
Building for Android TV
There is also a demo project that already gives you a starting point for the custom interface. The code can be found on this GitHub repo (episode_4 is probably what you're looking for).
I'm currently developing an Android app for a client. Problem is their mockup screens contained a UI view that I'm unfamiliar with. In short, I'm not sure what approach/implementation to use.
This is what I'm trying to achieve:
The user taps on SALES TOOLS, and a popup of some sort appears with options leading to other features of the app.
Any suggestions on what implementation I can use?
There are lots of library Available in market

[SOLVED = I can't add to it, it's based on the active ROM]
Sorry for the vague questioning, I wasn't sure quite how to create it.
I'm wanting to add toggle buttons, or at least other elements into this part of android;
I can't find any documents on how to add to this element of Android, and I'm wondering if we actually can? Does anyone know what this element is even called and can link me to the appropriate android doc?
Thanks!
This is an application that ships with Android, hence you cannot change its behavior. It has a predefined set of elements that can be present on it. If you want to create a custom version of it, you will need to create a custom ROM.
This looks similar to the quick settings screen on my Samsung and it created by the phone manufacturer. You could create a custom ROM, but I don't think this is what you really want.
The closest I think you can get is the notification bar, which can use a custom layout:

Also Take a look at the WatchOn app, which has a relatively complex control embedded into the notification screen:
I want to create a search bar just like the one in the twitter app. Is this possible?

Mainly it's a well designed view. Their designers created the images and it was put together in a view.
The application is supposed to go open source, not sure if they did yet, but once it does you could look exactly how they did it.
