Try this 

- Right after getting a popup go to Play store > My apps > Installed > Last used. Which apps on top there?

 (feature removed in latest Play app, you can use [this app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saipriyank.recentapps) to see last active)    


- Which apps have 'appear on top' [permission?]     


- Under Settings > Apps, check on installed apps without icon (green droid icon)     


- Check [Device admin] 

if any suspicious app uncheck it, may be one without icon  


- Samsung phones: bloatware Peel Remote is a notorious adware that generates pop-ups, disable or uninstall it.


- **When solved, please post the bad app 

-to warn others and report the app in Play store**

remote is not an inbuilt app. It must have installed automatically... When you've changed the device...
