Yes - check out themes, specifically the dialog theme.


  E.g. can I make a postage size app?


I don't know if there are limits on the size, but probably.

[android-beginners] Can a full app (not widget) be postage stamp size?

I want to show the speed limit while you drive. It has to update a
lot...
It would look best in a postage size app, so other apps could show
thru around the side...

Widgets don't update enough, so I can't go the widget route.

I also considered using a status-bar notification, but the status bar
isn't big enough.
E.g. The status bar probably isn't visible in a dashboard cradle mount
type situ.

Any solutions appreciated.
