1. Request a suspension delay.
```
```js
import backgroundTaskManager from '@ohos.backgroundTaskManager';
let myReason = 'test requestSuspendDelay';
let delayInfo = backgroundTaskManager.requestSuspendDelay(myReason, () => {
console.info("Request suspension delay will time out.");
});
var id = delayInfo.requestId;console.info("requestId is: " + id);

| function stopBackgroundRunning(context: Context, callback: AsyncCallback<void>): void;<br>function stopBackgroundRunning(context: Context): Promise<void>; | Cancels the continuous task.|
For details about **WantAgent**, see [WantAgent](../reference/apis/js-apis-notification.md#WantAgent).
After a service is started, call the API for requesting a continuous task in the **onStart** callback of the Service ability to declare that the service needs to run in the background for a long time. In the **onStop** callback, call the API for canceling the continuous task.
On an OS that allows for user interaction, resources gravitate to service processes that interact with users. In other words, apart from processes that support system running, service processes that can be perceived by users have the highest priority. Therefore, background task management is applicable to service processes that cannot be perceived by users.

-**When to cancel**: The requesting application shall cancel the request when the transient task is complete. If the request is forcibly canceled by the system, the time frame allowed for the application to run in the background will be affected.
-**Quota mechanism**: To prevent abuse of the keepalive, each application has a certain quota every day (dynamically adjusted based on user habits). After using up the quota, an application cannot request transient tasks. Therefore, applications should cancel their request immediately after the transient tasks are complete, to avoid quota consumption. (Note: The quota refers to the requested duration and does not include the time when the application runs in the background.)
## Continuous Tasks
Continuous tasks provide background running lifecycle support for services that can be directly perceived by users and need to run in the background. For example, if a service needs to play audio or continue with navigation and positioning in the background, which can be perceived by users, it can execute a continuous task in the respective background mode.
### Background Mode Classification
OpenHarmony provides 9 background modes for services that require continuous task execution.
**Table 1** Background modes for continuous tasks
| Background Mode| Description| Hint in Notification Panel| Remarks|
| -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- |
| dataTransfer | Data transfer through the network or peer device, such as upload, download, backup, and restore| A data transfer task is running.| |
| audioPlayback | Audio output| An audio playback task is running.| |
| audioRecording | Audio input| A recording task is running.| |
| location | Positioning and navigation| A positioning task is running.| |
| bluetoothInteraction | Bluetooth transmission| A Bluetooth-related task is running.| |
| multiDeviceConnection | Distributed interconnection| A distributed task is running.| |
| wifiInteraction | WLAN transmission| A WLAN-related task is running.| System API, which is available only to system applications|
| voip | Voice and video calls over VoIP| A call-related task is running.| System API, which is available only to system applications|
| taskKeeping | Computing task| A computing task is running| PC-specific, valid only on PCs|
### Restrictions on Using Continuous Tasks
- If a user triggers a perceivable task, such as broadcasting, navigation, upload, and download, the corresponding background mode is triggered. When the task is started, the system forcibly displays a notification to the user.
- If the task is complete, the application should exit the background mode. If the system detects that an application is not using the resources in the corresponding background mode when the application is running in the background, the application is suspended.
- Ensure that the requested continuous task background mode matches the application type. If the background mode does not match the application type, the system will suspend the task once it detects the issue.
- If a requested continuous task is not actually executed, the system will suspend the task once it detects the issue.
- Each ability can request only one continuous task at a time.
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 7. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
