Can band start a WP application or is a background task able to handle band notifications?

assume I have a tile on my Microsoft Band (2) and want to record the current HB when the user presses my tile (or a button on a screen). Just something like cortana does - trigger anything on the band - cortana is started on the device handling the request.

I found nothing about such a scenario in the (poor) SDK documentation. Is such a solution possible - or do I always have to have my app in foreground on the phone (WP10)?

In order to be notified of Tile events (such as button presses), your application must (1) be running in the foreground or background, (2) have an outstanding connection to the Band, and (3) be subscribed to those specific events. There is currently no way (on Windows) to otherwise notify an application of input from the Band.
