c# - Windows Phone App Background HTTP Connectivity -

i working on developing non-voip windows phone application needs have background http connection notified when new messages received. noticed windows store apps, there example controlchanneltrigger allows connect httprequestmessage , send push notification app when data returned http request.

is there similar concept can use windows phone, because using periodic task isn't enough.

you cannot windows phone. once app not on foreground anymore, there no way maintain connection.

you should instead push notifications implementation here.

there trick use background audio agent maintain connection don't think it's still doable. , considered bad practice both developer , user points of view.

so should go standard push notification thing linked above.
