Actually, you can arrange for them to run in the same process, if you supply both the android:sharedUserId attribute on the manifest element, and the android:process attribute on the application element, and you sign them both with the same signing certificate.
You'll also have to work out how to share access to the information, as the applications will have been loaded by different classloaders, but there are ways that can be done. But I'd question whether that's really what you want or need to do. That's really not how the system is designed to be used normally. A service, or sharing using android:sharedUserId to allow access to each other's data, or even persisting the data off the device in a web service are more usual approaches. You really didn't say what you are trying to accomplish, so we can't really make a more specific recommendation.
