Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by comparing Moonlight PC's corresponding setting with the Android settings flow, then trace how stream termination is handled; done means an Android setting can enable quitting the host application after the stream ends, including when using an app shortcut.

Description

enhancement
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Moonlight PC has a setting option that allows to automatically quit the running application on the host when the stream ends, but this option is currently not available on Moonlight Android.
Adding this option would help people that have been requesting it, and would bring Moonlight Android closer in feature-parity with Moonlight PC.

Describe the solution you'd like

Have an option in the settings named "Quit app on host PC after ending stream", just like in Moonlight PC, that when enabled automatically quits the running app on the host when the stream stops.

Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative is to manually close the app when Moonlight gets back to the app grid (this is what is done currently), which it might not when using the app shortcut feature.
