To run app in background for long time in iphone

Hi I want to run my app in background until I quit it.For that I have used the code below 

 bgTask = [application beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler: ^{
            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{

                [application endBackgroundTask:bgTask];
                bgTask = UIBackgroundTaskInvalid;

            });
        }];

but it quits after particular time.Can any one guide me to achieve this.

You don't!

Apple will allow you to complete a lengthy operation, but it is not ment to keep your app running. This will drain your battery.

There are three kind of background running apps support by Apple: Audio player, VOIP client and location based apps. Location based apps will only receive major location updates and only one audio player can run at a time.

Mis use of the background mode will get you app rejected.
