For a background download service with NSURLSession
1. Create a download task with background session configuration with NSURLSession delegates.
2. If, application is in foreground NSURLsession delegate will be called directly. 
3. If application is background or killed additional methods are needed in the app delegate . 
4. "handleEventsForBackgroundURLSession" will be called first, where it is necessary to reinstate the session object with the delegate again. Otherwise delegate methods will not be called. 
5. "URLSessionDidFinishEventsForBackgroundURLSession" will be called once everything is done. You can decide what you want to do once the download is complete like updating the UI.
