i'm trying to use delphi Firemonkey to develop an iphone App. I need to download an xml every x minutes and process it, if there are new data send notification. It's very easy if the app is in use, but i can't find the way to use this procedure when the app is in background....

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
IdHTTP1 : TIdHTTP;
MyFile : TFileStream;
Notification: TNotification;
UIApp : UIApplication;
begin
UIApp := TUIApplication.Wrap(TUIApplication.OCClass.sharedApplication);
UIApp.setIdleTimerDisabled(True);
TThread.CreateAnonymousThread(procedure ()
