Building on what rckoenes stated, applications are allowed to register background tasks to be completed after the user hits the home button.

When an app is force stopped, it cannot execute jobs, receive alarms or broadcasts, etc. So unfortunately, it’s infeasible for us to address it – … Read more
Despite its name, beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler: does not actually “begin” a task. It might be better thought of as “register…” rather than “begin….” You’re just telling the system that you’re in the middle of doing something that would like to complete if that’s ok.

For the sake of providing an answer to this question, even though it is already self answered… “If you use the newer Core Motion API, you can receive updates in the background.” Here is an example: – (void)startAccelerationCollection { [self.motionManager startAccelerometerUpdatesToQueue:[[NSOperationQueue alloc] init] withHandler:^(CMAccelerometerData *data, NSError *error) { dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{ [self.accelerometerReadings addObject:data]; }); }]; }
