Write two apps which do communicate with intents.
Probably you should use intent extras to transmid data

Thanks Manfred,

But suppose you want more control over your APK, would you use a service?

I'm trying to anticipate on a client needs... not easy:

He wants to have a master APK, which can launch other "fields" APK, and the main APK needs to know, real time activity on third part activities...

You have replied by yourself : if you need to receive data in the background while other activities are on the screen, the service is the way to go

I think so, do someone experience APKs interoperability using a service?

The most crucial part is the interaction using the intents. You will have to register your service to receive these intents and add the extras to share the information required.
It is difficult to provide you with specific information till we don't really know your needs. But, I am sure, you have seen this tutorial : https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/tutorial-inter-app-communication-with-intents.30608/

Yes, I'm aware of intent provider, but I was thinking like a controller way using a service around the apps, maybe I'm wrong, I have to investigate...
