I´d like to control an app with another app. As far as I know apps in background get paused.
Is there any way to send commands/clicks etc to another app by my control app?
Thanks

Not generally. If you wrote both apps, you are welcome to implement your own control IPC mechanism. An accessibility service can do what you want to a limited extent for arbitrary apps, but nobody with any sense will install your accessibility service, given that you can do all sorts of nasty things to the user and so there are security warnings that get raised when the user goes to activate your accessibility service. On rooted devices, there are probably many more options.
If you want to send click events to another App, you can achieve it by Broadcast Receiver.
You have to send a broadcast message and the other app must have a receiver to receive the trigger.
you can get more information about broadcast receiver by this link https://developer.android.com/guide/components/broadcasts.html
What you are looking for is a service. In a bounded service, Inter process communication is extremely easy, read here.

You simply bound both your apps to a service they can talk to eachother.
