At the bottom of the list you'll see a check box to enable Chat Heads. Once you've downloaded the latest version of Facebook Messenger, you'll need to make sure the Chat Heads feature is enabled. There aren't too many Android devices that will be getting access to Facebook Home today once it's released in the Play Store, but by installing the standalone Facebook Messenger app (or updating to the latest version if you already have it installed), you'll be able to use Chat Heads.
