There is no need to use SurfaceView for that, just make your own activity transparent such as with Theme.Translucent. Anyway, the UI model is designed around having one main fullscreen activity visible to the user (any number of non-fullscreen or translucent activities can be stacked on top of it). There is no way to have two running side-by-side without significant deep cooperation between the two apps.
