I got a few links: How can I create a custom home-screen replacement application for Android?

But is it possible to get what i want please help

Answer 1

Yes, you can definitely create a home screen replacement. To do that, your app must have an activity with android.intent.category.HOME in its filters (in AndroidManifest.xml). That's how the system knows which application will display the home screen... For more info:

(Search for android.intent.category.HOME to go straight to the point)
