It sounds like you want to use a CLLocationManager and call startUpdatingLocation from within the App Delegate applicationDidEnterBackground.

However, this will cause a major drain on the battery & isn't recommended. Instead, you should probably use startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges to keep the location checking at a minimum.
