my Service: (i mean this code from download example project)

public class FloatingWindow extends Service {

    WindowManager wm;
    LinearLayout ll;

    @Override
    public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate();

        wm = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);

        ll = new LinearLayout(this);
        ll.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
        LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParameteres = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
                LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 400);
        ll.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(66,255,0,0));
        ll.setLayoutParams(layoutParameteres);

        final WindowManager.LayoutParams parameters = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
                500, 200, WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE,
                WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE,
                PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
        parameters.gravity = Gravity.CENTER | Gravity.CENTER;
        parameters.x = 0;
        parameters.y = 0;

      Button     stop = new Button(this);
    stop.setText("Stop");
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams btnParameters = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        stop.setLayoutParams(btnParameters);

        ll.addView(stop);
        wm.addView(ll, parameters);

        ll.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
            WindowManager.LayoutParams updatedParameters = parameters;
            double x;
            double y;
            double pressedX;
            double pressedY;

            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

                switch (event.getAction()) {
                    case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:

                        x = updatedParameters.x;
                        y = updatedParameters.y;

                        pressedX = event.getRawX();
                        pressedY = event.getRawY();

                        break;

                    case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
                        updatedParameters.x = (int) (x + (event.getRawX() - pressedX));
                        updatedParameters.y = (int) (y + (event.getRawY() - pressedY));

                        wm.updateViewLayout(ll, updatedParameters);

                    default:
                        break;
                }

                return false;
            }
        });

        stop.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                wm.removeView(ll);
                stopSelf();
                System.exit(0);
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        stopSelf();
    }

} 

i have prefer / copy code from this and this i copy this code its kinda old, there is already app-debug.apk (this use android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW in the manifest) in the project download and i try its run normally but when i use the that code to my project its give me that error massage.

what else permission i must use?

This question has been solved by myself

UPDATE

make sure you have added permission in the manifest.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW" />

put this on onCreate or whatever you want to askPermission()

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M && !Settings.canDrawOverlays(this)) {
   askPermission()
}

Method:

@TargetApi(23)
public void askPermission() {
    Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION,
            Uri.parse("package:" + getPackageName()));
    startActivityForResult(intent, SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW_PERMISSION);
}
