If i have a Darkri in my hand can I play communicator put the Darkrai on top of my deck & get the same Darkri back?
 
yes you can, as this ruling shows/implies

Q. If I use Pokemon Communication to put a Pokemon into my deck, am I allowed to voluntarily fail and choose to take no Pokemon out of my deck?
A. The contents of your deck is not public knowledge so the deck search can fail, even if you've just put a Pokemon into the deck. (Feb 4, 2010 PUI Rules Team)

the darkrai you just placed in the deck is a valid target (though you don't have to choose it).
 
You should be able to fail it, in my opinion. Consider a rescue stretcher. You can shuffle three Pokémon back into the deck before failing an ultra ball. While your opponent may be aware of the contents of your deck if they pay close attention, the GAME is unaware because your deck is not public knowledge.
 
Why are we rehashing something that has a rule in the Compendium?
