Today, we are talking about Background Tasks. The short way to describe Background Tasks is this:
A Background Task is the code that runs when your app doesn’t. Think of the scenarios:
- Continue streaming audio, even when the user is running another app.
- Update the user’s Live Tile to reflect new data.
- Pop a Toast Notification to let the user know something important has happened.
- Update the user’s lock screen, even when the device is locked.
