# BackgroundTaskManager

This module provides background task management.

If a service needs to be continued when the application or service module is running in the background (not visible to users), the application or service module can request a transient task or continuous task for delayed suspension based on the service type.

If an application has a task that needs to be continued when the application is switched to the background and can be completed within a short period of time, the application can request a transient task. For example, if a user chooses to clear junk files in the **Files** application and exits the application, the application can request a transient task to complete the cleanup.

If an application has a service that can be intuitively perceived by users and needs to run in the background for a long period of time (for example, music playback in the background), the application can request a continuous task.

> **NOTE**
>
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 7. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.


## Modules to Import

```
import backgroundTaskManager from '@ohos.backgroundTaskManager';
```


## backgroundTaskManager.requestSuspendDelay

requestSuspendDelay(reason: string, callback: Callback&lt;void&gt;): DelaySuspendInfo

Requests delayed suspension after the application switches to the background.

The default duration of delayed suspension is 180000 when the battery level is higher than or equal to the broadcast low battery level and 60000 when the battery level is lower than the broadcast low battery level.

**System capability**: SystemCapability.ResourceSchedule.BackgroundTaskManager.TransientTask

**Parameters**
| Name     | Type                  | Mandatory  | Description                            |
| -------- | -------------------- | ---- | ------------------------------ |
| reason   | string               | Yes   | Reason for delayed transition to the suspended state.                    |
| callback | Callback&lt;void&gt; | Yes   | Invoked when a delay is about to time out. Generally, this callback is used to notify the application 6 seconds before the delay times out.|

**Return value**
| Type                                   | Description       |
| ------------------------------------- | --------- |
| [DelaySuspendInfo](#delaysuspendinfo) | Information about the suspension delay.|

**Example**

  ```js
  let myReason = 'test requestSuspendDelay';
