React native http request stops once app goes to background

Question

Scenario:

1. User clicks on a button that invokes a fetch action that takes up to 60 seconds to respond - once the server the responds a set of other actions are invoked.
2. The user minimize the application during the fetch request.
3. The user returns to the application.

Expected behavior:

1. The app should continue its process from the point it stopped.

What happens:

1. The process just stops and the action set is not invoked

How is it possible to continue the action set in the background ?
