How to I ensure few specific apps is always running? If not launch each applications

Question

I am looking for app or a way to ensure specific apps are always running in the background/foreground all the time.

Edit: apps in question does run as a foreground service.

If they are stopped for any reason, they will be started again by the app or process.

Does app called "Tasker" has capability like this?

Android imposes background limitations on apps. If an app needs to run in background, it should run a foreground service. See Why do apps run in background on Android? — Irfan Latif, Jan 29 '24 at 10:40
If the device is for business/corporate use you may want to look into Mobile Device Management (MDM) / Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM), see: https://www.android.com/enterprise/management/ From what I understand you can either run the device in kiosk mode or 'white list' apps from battery optimizations — Morrison Chang, Jan 30 '24 at 23:00

Edit application permissions to include background & foreground activity
Unrestrict data usage
Exclude from battery optimization
Exclude from game-mode optimization
If applicable and/or desired, exclude from Do Not Disturb, etc
Lock the process (through Recent Apps screen)
Set up automation to relaunch program in the event of unintended closure (e.g., via Tasker, Macrodroid, etc.)
