Facebook announced the Facebook Home last week that comes pre-installed with the HTC First. It brings several features including  Chat Heads feature.

Chat Heads lets you get notifications along with the unread message count on a chat head bubble, even when you’re using other apps. You can just tap the chat head to reply, drag down to close.
