Can you have two activities running at the same time?

You cannot have multiple activities running at the same time. If you want code to run in the background you need to use a Service. For more information checkout the docs: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html

You should program your server as a Service and then write an Activity that communicates with the server and displays relevant information. This way when you navigate to a new Activity the server continues to run.
