Apps How is this interaction achieved?

I'm working on developing an app that runs in the background. We want to notify users who are in a different app that something in the original app happened, and they need to take action. We could use the notification system, but this doesn't provide the level of attention we desire.

We found a perfect example of what we'd like to do in an app called Any.do - a reminder/list app. When you set a reminder, it appears in some sort of slider window/drawer that comes up from the bottom of your screen.

You can see a screen shot of this at my dropbox at the link below:

Can someone inform me of how this is done? I don't see anything in the permissions for the app that might suggest what this is.

Thanks!
