iOS 9 vs Android M – Tablets:
With Android M, Google has natively added support for split-screen multitasking for tablets. This functionality though is in infancy stages at the moment and that’s probably the reason why Google didn’t announce it on-stage at I/O 2015. To enable this secret hidden feature of Android M, you can follow the instructions here.

Apple on the other hand has finally made true multitasking on iPad official with iOS 9. Here’s how it looks and works:
IMG_0003
 Slide Over: Open second app over the first one on side without leaving the first one.
IMG_0005
 Switching apps in Slide Over.
IMG_0004
 Split View: Open two active apps side-by-side at the same time in 50/50 or 70/30 view.
IMG_0006
Picture-in-Picture (PiP): Watch a video in a small window while continue working in any other app. The video window can also be repositioned or resized.

Yes you can also use all three Slide Over, Split View and Picture-in-Picture at the same time.
