if it runs as a background process yes, but that would also eat up device battery while it runs in the background, so you need to optimize for that – Shashank Shekhar Feb 24 '15 at 15:42

You should be able to do this with SystemTrigger.NetworkStateChanged. Though, you must remember that there are some limits for using network in BackgroundTask - more about constraints you will find at MSDN.
For some help you may also take a look at this answer, you will also find a sample code there.
As for adding a BackgroundTask, take a look at MSDN, this blog post or this SO answer.
