I want to execute some code in my custom module to display status reports even though my custom module is disabled.
hook_requirements() can be used to display status reports, but it only works when the module is enabled. I want this to work even when the module is disabled.
How can I achieve this?
That's not possible.
For hooks to be executed, your module must be enabled. From the docs:
To extend Drupal, a module need simply implement a hook. When Drupal wishes to allow intervention from modules, it determines which modules implement a hook and calls that hook in all enabled modules that implement it.
Emphasis mine.
Allowing modules to run code even when they're not enabled would be a massive security risk, and could cause all sorts of other unforeseen problems.
