Specify Constraints for running background task

See original GitHub issue

The job scheduler allows you to specify a few constraints based on which the task would be run such as network connectivity status, whether the device is charging or not ,etc. Is there a way to specify that here?

Not sure how it is currently done and would like to know how it can be done.
