You could always just ask the developer.  His email is in the City
Caller ID application.

But, since I am here...

The best way to do anything in Android is to look at the source of
Android.  I looked at how a toast was done in the source and
implemented my own version of it.

You can message me directly if you need more information.  I can't
imagine Google would just want anybody doing this.  That is why I
won't post my Custom Toast code just yet.  It could be really
obnoxious if used incorrectly.

Now if I could just figure out how to add the city and state to the
Call Log.  I have combed the source and it looks like I would need a
custom Dialer Application. :(

Take care,
Chris
