Starting another app inside my app

I want to start an app that is shown inside my app. At the moment I just start another app over mine with

Intent LaunchIntent = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(app.getAppID());
startActivity(LaunchIntent);

That works good, but I'd like to let the user know, my app is still in the background. With a colored frame for instance. I thought of loading the new app inside a fragment like with iframes in HTML but could not find a way.

Any help is appreciated.

I think you are confusing applications with activities.

You can run a shared activity in your application but not the entire application. So this would greatly depend on what you are trying to do.

This is not possible on Android, sorry.

Each app runs in its own process, and there is no way to run one inside another like an iframe.
