Is it possible to run a task periodically in Background - iOS 4

I want to poll the location from GPS in the background. So we used a NSTimer and performed periodic checks in the timer tick. In other words, can we schedule NSTimer while the app is in Background?

Thanks in advance

You can't periodically execute arbitrary code, but you can get pinged on significant location changes via startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges in CLLocationManager.
