Reacting to completed event while in background #228

Hi, thanks again for the very useful library that you're supporting. My question is, is there a possibility for a library to react when the process of uploading the file is completed?

Typical scenario would be that the user starts the upload, backgrounds the application, then opens e.g. Chrome and browses the web during which the upload is complete. I'm not sure on how this is even handled since JS thread is effectively suspended when the app goes in to the background. In that case, I cannot see how I can catch completed event. Maybe you have some ideas.

I have a job scheduler that runs background tasks. That way if files fail to upload, they will be uploaded at a later time in the background. check out https://github.com/transistorsoft/react-native-background-fetch
