Current behavior

The developer don't have the ability to trigger background tasks manually

Expected behavior

The developer should have the ability to trigger background tasks manually. Triggering Background Tasks + async tasks instead of just async tasks would enable downloading a lot of data in background and give the result in foreground when it is completed. It also enable the capability when the scenario for the user is s/he has no internet connection but s/he is trying to connect to it. In such cases, tasks that need connectivity will automatically be triggered in the background when user's device is online. This is such a good capability users of the app night need.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
