As I understand it, no, there isn't. That kind of thing is explicitly
forbidden. You will notice that if you switch to a different app your
app is also stopped.

For the kind of long-lived connection you describe, the "right" way
would be to send any notifications through the push notifications
service. When your app is running it would ignore them (because it's
connected to the server), but if it's not running the notifications
can be queued (if they're not interactive) or displayed/etc for the
user to interact.

What is your use case?
