Is it possible to have a Corona app stay running in the background? If an app is built to receive custom notifications via websockets or some other method would it be possible to have that functionality running even after the app is closed? I haven’t seem any demonstrations of this so I am wondering if it is even possible.
If you have experience with this kind of functionality in Corona your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Apple permits a few background modes for specific uses. However Corona SDK does not officially support these modes. Our code has not been tested while backgrounded and it’s a feature we may remove in the future, so it’s use at your own risk. You cannot background Corona built Android apps at all.

Is there a way to start an Android service with Corona?
You can do this with Corona Enterprise.

So basically Rob, we can’t make our app run in background?
You cannot run a Corona SDK app in the background.
