title: Can User turn off Background Task in Windows 8?
body: <p>In Windows Phone 7.5 there is a way to turn a backgroundagent by going to Settings->Applications->background tasks</p>
  
  <p>Is there a similar thing in Windows 8 for me turn it off?</p>
  
  <p>This is a programming question because I want to get an answer to this for me to use this following API in my application. If user turns it off then I need to go for 'Push notification' implementation on my server</p>
