Thanks for the suggestion, but I think this would be much too complex to
present usefully.
Partly this is because the proportion of people who would notice, and
understand, and remember to use the setting would be very small.
And partly because even if you did set it, there are many reasons that the
connection type would be different from the one you had specified:
- As you've already mentioned, the connection type would need to persist even
after the app that had caused it was in the background for a few seconds.
- Some apps use the DownloadManager to perform downloads in the background.
Multiple apps might be using the download service at the same time.
- Ubuntu works on dual-SIM phones where one SIM does 4G and the other does not.
- And of course, available connection types depend on carrier coverage in your
particular location.
I suggest instead investigating whether this kind of change could happen
automatically for low-bandwidth apps. For example, if all you have been
doing for the past minute is sending text messages, perhaps the phone
could drop down to 2G by itself.

Title:
automatically toggle 2G to 3/4G
Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
I'm usually connected with 2G because 3G is a battery drainer and for
chatting 2G is good to go.
When I use the internet browser I enjoy the comfort of having a fast 3G
connection. Toggling every time is annoying so I'd appreciate a feature where
you can set up your applications which triggers a faster connection when you
open them and reverse when you close.
Should also have a timer so when you leave the browser (3G) for a short time
in the background to check something else it shouldn't reactivate the slow
connection immediately.
Ubuntu 15.04 (r21), Nexus 4
