connection background.

There isn’t a way to do this in the general case. For more background on this, see Technote 2277 Networking and Multitasking.

How you proceed depends on your specific requirements. For example, if your app is typically deployed in a managed environment you could deploy a corresponding server (not on iOS) that listens on these MQTT channels and generates appropriate push notifications.

If you can provide more details about your specific setup, I may be able to make further suggestions.
