Question

I want to register background task which should work even if App is not running, in this task i want to download string from web (empty if no new notifications to show) if not empty then show Push notification. I want to check web page every 15-30 seconds is it possible? If so please help me how. Or maybe any better ideas?

Answer 1

You would have to implements a background task. The minimum time between 2 background sync is 15 minutes.

Please refer to this : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/launch-resume/support-your-app-with-background-tasks#conditions-for-background-tasks

With out-of-process background task you can create a background task class and register it to run when your app is not in the foreground.

You also could use trigger maintenance to run you bg task periodically.
