Hi Roy,

Thanks so much for your help.
I use background Task to update live tile and toast during app is not running ,
But when I use background Task , app need to be first launched to register background task.
So is there a way ,when user install app then background task also is registered , the app no need be first launched?

Thanks in advance.
