It is possible to make HTTP async requests to PHP server while the app being in background? The app is a location based one, and should gather current location and send the coordinates to server every 5(or other value) minutes. Can I make the http posts to the server even the app is in background? I read lot of thoughts about this, but some of them told that can be done, others that can't be done.
Thanks,
Alex.

It can be done but it is unreliable because you ask the OS for time to send something and it can accept or deny your request. This is what I have (stolen from somewhere on SO):
