Hi,

Android does not work like that.  Android provides the illusion of apps running 
all the time, but behind the scenes it's quitting and restarting apps as 
necessary in order to provide a responsive user experience while preserving 
battery life.

There's a lot of material online that will confirm this.  Some examples:
