This is general Android stuff, but hope it clarifies some stuff for everyone.
From a gizmodo article:
The Android model is perhaps the most interesting, a hybrid system that's fairly open about allowing stuff running in the background, but at the same time aims to be completely invisible to you, the end user, so that you don't have to actively manage whether an app is open or closed. It's a little complicated so we talked to an Android engineer about what's going on inside.
What happens when I switch to another app?
The app you switched from doesn't stop
