Make my app run in the background to play a sound after shaking

[Marcelord]

Hi friends, I have a simple app that makes a whipping sound when you shake your phone. Is it possible to make it run in the background? Is there an extension for this?

Can you help me with that please, I'm a newbie with App Inventor.

Thanks in advance for your help.
