Multitasking without losing focus

[Android Central Question]

I have a game on android that if i switch to another app and switch back to the game, the activity returns to the main menu (refreshes). My question is, is there a way in android to avoid such behavior?

Here's a scenario - i open two instances of the game (using parallel space) and multitask. Now the thing is, if i put focus on x and go back to y, y goes back to main activity.

That depends on the app, mostly. And some games/apps do that precisely to avoid time-mining in the background or continue gameplay without user input if the app has been minimized or sent to a background process.
