Can a web application perform tasks when Chrome is minimized on Android? -

i developing web application works timer+logger. tracks how time has passed between user starting timer , stopping (just example).

my question - if user starts timer , opens app/moved chrome backgrounds - timer still log time?

by default time logged on client-side, if wouldn't work - maybe moving logging server-side it?

finally, if nothing mentioned works, functionality achievable using cordova?

i think chrome unloads tabs you're not using - according an answer last year music can play in background arbitrary javascript doesn't.

native , cordova android apps can around tab restriction using background service.
