We have designed an hybrid app which is a bit heavy (9 MB). Problem is that at times, minimizing this app (home button) makes the app reset in background i.e. its app cache is lost and app reloads from splash screen. After minimizing we worked with other apps in tablet (Galaxy 800).
We saw this problem only if we tried to launch app from the icon in launcher. This problem did not happen when we tried to launch it from the minimized list(recent apps button).
This problem is not specific to the tab. It also happened in Galaxy 3 and Droid Razr also.
Any guidance?

This is perfectly normal.
Computers, phones, and tablets do not have infinite RAM. Android's approach to this problem is to keep your process around for a while after the user has left it, but eventually Android will terminate your process to free up RAM for other applications and their processes. You can read more about the Android process model in the documentation.
