While the first application is running you can launch second application but you have to kill the second application to come back where you left off in the first application

OpenApplication2 

./adb shell monkey -p com.test.t1 -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1

CloseApplication2

./adb shell am force-stop com.test.t1

FYI:

  • adb -> To connect with the device
  • shell -> To make use of terminal or command prompt
  • am -> Activity Manager
  • monkey -> The Monkey is a program that runs on your emulator or device and generates pseudo-random streams of user events such as clicks, touches, or gestures, as well as a number of system-level events. You can use the Monkey to stress-test applications that you are developing, in a random yet repeatable manner.

use the keyword execute to run adb

A workaround worked for me. Try this.

 OpenApplication1
 OpenApplication2
 Switch Application ${browser}
 Background App 5

After last keyword, it will switch to Application1

I solved the problem by closing the first application and opening the second application.

use this below command

   OpenApplication1

do some activities with that then close the application

   Close Application
   OpenApplication2
