Generally, this would be ungrammatical. For example, you can't say: "He's constantly staying at my house." or "I'll be constantly staying there." But it can be okay in certain situations, for example:

"When you're a night watchman, you have to be constantly staying awake."

"If you're a paparazzi, you've got to be constantly staying alert to celebrity movements."

It's redundant. The only kind of staying is constant. It's like saying "a stormy hurricane".
