I'm going to make a simple toast notification using periodic task of background agent, what I'm asking is how can I show deep toast notification in specific time (ex:5 mins). Note: We have used this method ScheduledActionService.LaunchForTest(string name, TimeSpan delay) to check in Emulator. Is this will work in Device with customized time interval? Please help me.

Periodic agents typically run every 30 minutes. To optimize battery life, periodic agents may be run in alignment with other background processes and therefore the execution time may drift by up to 10 minutes.


You can however send a toast via push notification service. You can do that whenever you want.
