title: AngularJS from a Chrome Extension background script
body: <p>Given that Angular is tied to the views and bootstrapped in the main extension view, I assume the simple answer is "No, not possible", but wanted to confirm as I can't find a definitive answer anywhere.</p>
  
  <p>My use case is that the extension will be polling for updated content from an API, and updating the extension's badge when found; I'd love to be able to re-use my API service from the extension's Angular codebase.</p>
  
  <p>If not possible, any suggested workarounds for sharing code between the Angular extension and the background script?</p>
