Another program called SoftKeys does this by way of a running Service. It offers access to the usually-mandated hardware keys like MENU, BACK, HOME, SEARCH, even for those few oddball devices like NOOKcolor that do not include those keys.
An IME keyboard is also a form of this kind of "UI overlay" that people see all the time. I am just guessing, but any soft keyboard is likely another example of a service that spawns interface bits. However, I can see this sort of thing being more nuisance than godsend... one person's "great uses" is another person's clutter.
