Display an imageView on the HomeScreen

Question

Currently I am in the process of learning and I stumbled upon one problem which is giving me headaches. My goal is to display an custom image on the Homescreen. Could anyone guide me into the right direction. I also would prefer that the code for the solution will not be posted since copying and pasting would not help me much learning how to code. Thank you in advance for any hints & tips.

Either you are writing your own home screen, or you are not.

If you are writing your own home screen, you would display an ImageView there no different than with any other activity.

If you are not writing your own home screen, the only way you can display anything on the home screen is by writing an app widget (which can contain an ImageView) or a live wallpaper.
