First question: Generally you could distinguish the applications by
using different port numbers of each end of the communication.
BUT: Whouldn't it be better to use the Android inter-process
communication like Serializable objects and intents?

Second question: Implemet a service in one of the appllications. The
service will be available even if any UI activity is in the
backgground.
BUT: you have to take care that the system knows that the service is
still in use / not in use any more...
