title: Windows phone 8.1 background task and foreground app communication
body: <p>I am working on a Windows Phone 8.1 application which registers a background task timer trigger for hourly operation. So essentially, the background task wake up every 60 minutes and does some operation. </p>
  
  <p>My question is that, when the background task is in progress, if the user wakes up the application, is there a way that we can show the user what is happening in the background task process? </p>
  
  <p>I understand that they are two different processes. I am using a Silverlight 8.1 project for the foreground application and a managed windows runtime project for the background task. I am registering the background task using the silverlight application but i am in a dark now thinking about how to create a communication bridge between these two processes. </p>
  
  <p>Any clues ? Is this even possible ?  </p>
