Handle Shake Gesture While app is in background in iOS

I am implementing an security / Help application for iPhone in which I want to add a feature of "Shake To Send Alert". I am looking for a way to handle shake gesture even if app is running in background (Clicked on Physical Home button of iPhone). I googled and searched through web but didn't found any answer. I also saw some posts on StackOverflow with similar needs but are still not solved. Do anyone have any idea of doing that? Right now I am able to handle MotionEven but only when app is in foreground.

Unfortunately this isn't possible. If your app is running in the background, it is very limited to what it can and can't do - something like detecting phone shaking is not something that can be done in the background.
