How to run application in background in Windows Phone?

by

WP7/WP8 don’t allow for full multitasking in the background for arbitrary apps. Whatever it is you’re trying to accomplish will either have to be achieved in some other way or just not done on windows phone. There’s lots of alternative as you’ve found out: WP7.5 Alarms & Reminders, WP7 Scheduled Tile updates, WP7.5 Periodic Background Agents, Resource Intensive Background Agents, WP8 Geolocation tracking apps, WP7 Push Notifications and more.

The zen of WP7/8 Multitasking is to keep phones healthy both from a battery perspective, memory usage perspective and other resources as well. So, no full background multitasking. Although WP8 improves there with Geolocation tracking apps and Fast Application Resume.
