I have an app that has an effect similar to what you are trying to accomplish (I think)...
If you take a look at AppSwipe! in the Google Play Store you will see that I do not get a black background... AppSwipe! runs as an activity that has a transparent background. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.magouyaware.appswipe Is this what you are trying to implement? If so, then it has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not onPause() gets called on the activity in the background. If this is not what you are trying to do, then please clarify...
