I think what you want are Toasts

Simple Toast:

Toast.makeText(context, text, duration).show();

text is, as you can imagine, the text you want to be displayed. duration is either Toast.LENGTH_SHORT or Toast.LENGTH_LONG (depends in how long the Toast sahll be visible)

More complicated approach with picture in the toast: (sync_toast_lo.xml)

And in your code:

LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.Sync_toast_lo,
                               (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.SynctoastLayout));

Toast toast = new Toast(this);
toast.setView(view);
toast.show();
