You need to start an apps by tapping on its icon. When you would like to switch to another app just press the Home button and tap another icon. Both apps are now running in this way. To switch among the apps press-and-hold the Home button, a catalog of your running apps will appear, tap the icon for the app that you would like to switch to. This is the best way to multitasking in android based OS. Check and reply.

Android does its own memory that is RAM management. If you are running more apps than you have available memory, Android will decide which app to close to let the new app run. Each process that run on android has its own Java virtual machine, so application code runs in isolation from the code of all other applications. Check it out and reply.

Some applications on android phone like Pandora and Google Maps Navigation, add an icon to the Notification Bar, given that quick access back into the app by dragging the Notification Bar open and option the app you want to go back to.

I am also using Multiflow apps on my iphone that is really like to see a screen-based gesture like SBSettings or mQuickDo added to the options and I would favour that to home button presses. With any luck that’s in the workings for a future update, along with an capability to close apps from within multifl0w. Best of luck.
