Android Meterpreter Question

[SystemCrash86]

I have an android phone and and up-to-date Kali Linux machine. I read a tutorial on how to get metasploit's meterpreter session from an android device.

I tried it and everything worked like it should. I created the apk file and copied it to my android and installed it. It had the Metasploit logo and when i pressed that logo it took me to a screen that said reverse tcp.
On my Kali machine i had set up the multi handler from metasploit, i pressed the reverse tcp button on the android device and was able to get a meterpreter session going.

All worked fine except if i navigated away from the android screen that had the reverse tcp button i would lose my meterpreter session.

Is there anyway around this?
