You should downgrade the android on your device

It's most probably a
feature of Android. A quick google returned this link:

this is not caused by battery consumption . down grade android device to make a firemonkey app works is simply a joke .

Android has gone quite aggressive in its later versions regarding any App which is not in the foreground. Generally it will kill it within 10 minutes or so.
If you want to do any background work, you MUST use a Service, and even then there are situations where even the Service will be killed of if Android feels like it. You can set the Service to be "sticky" which will cause it to be restarted by Android at such a time.

This is not a beginners programming job. I have spend 2 months on it already and still have problems with the Service.
