background application

A background application is what an application becomes once you switch to a new application. The previous application is not closed but continues to run in the background. Background applications can still get events, read/write data, access services, repaint, and generally the only difference is they run at a lower priority than the foreground application. Background applications generally continue to communicate to the user through two types of notifications: popup and banner.
