A lot of apps this year have jumped on the “floating” trend, meaning that they can have a part of their app “drawn” above other running apps, as needed by the context. The best example of this is how Facebook Messenger behaves, but there are other apps that have done this as well. Things might change when Android Marshmallow rolls in, though.
When you think of how the Musixmatch plug-in/app works, you may just applaud the logic behind it. If you consume a lot of music on your mobile, like maybe on Spotify, there will be time where you’d want learn the lyrics to sing along. Musixmatch negates the need to open another app – a browser to search for the lyrics – and puts the lyrics in a floating bubble just at the side of your screen. Tap the bubble and you get the full lyrics, and sing to your heart’s content. That’s how awesome this new floating trend it, provided that it is used within context. Other apps that use this include Link Bubble and Pocket, to name a few.
Some people have found that in Android Marshmallow’s Developer Preview 3 – which is pretty close to the real thing – permissions for floating apps have been disabled by default, so much so that you have to go to a specific settings menu to enable it. Apps are not given that permission by default, which will be in the face of the developers of these floating apps.
Either Google does something about it, or developers find a way so that it will be easier for users to grant permission, rather than having to drill down into the settings. Google may be clamping down on floating apps because they do not follow the natural order of things in Android – which is through notifications, widgets, and apps. We will have to see what happens to these apps when Android M rolls in.

If the user has to dig into the settings, that is the app’s fault. The app should load the settings page for you.
They shouldn’t have made this in the first place. Besides, a dialog shown by the system would suffice instead of getting the user into the Settings app.
