My code exemple
import { View, Button } from 'react-native';
import BackgroundService from 'react-native-background-actions';
const sleep = (time:number) => new Promise<void>((resolve) => setTimeout(() => resolve(), time));
const veryIntensiveTask = async (taskDataArguments:any) => {
console.log("in intensive task");
const { delay } = taskDataArguments;
await new Promise( async (resolve) => {
for (let i = 0; BackgroundService.isRunning(); i++) {
console.log(i);
await sleep(delay);
}
});
};
const options = {

console.log("background service started");
};
const updateBackgroundJob=async ()=>{
await BackgroundService.updateNotification({taskDesc: 'New ExampleTask description'});
console.log("background service updated");
};
const stopBackgroundJob=async ()=>{
await BackgroundService.stop();
console.log("background service stopped");
};
