it's a headsup notification works from android lollipop here you check how to show notification you can see here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html and for headsup you have to set notification priority as below

.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_HIGH)

hope it helps

EDIT Nov-17

Notification.PRIORITY_HIGH was deprecated in API level 26. use (NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH) instead.
