UnivApp W10 OnNavigatedTo no suitable method found to override

Question

Trying to add background task to W10 UnivApp from App Studio to update Live Tile from RSS feed from the background task.  I get the 'no suitable method found to override for the OnNavigatedTo

                protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
                {
                    RegisterBackgroundTask();
                }

I'm using the quickstart from MSDN to add this. Is this not supported in W10?

I was hitting this same issue and eventually figured out my file was missing the "using Windows.UI.Xaml.Navigation;" statement.  Adding that to the top of the file fixed it for me.
