I have an app that will run in the background but there is one case where I do not want that to happen, can I achieve this programmatically?

I know I can opt out by changing this plist value but what about at run time?

    You can’t use exit(0) b/c apple does not allow you to close the app without user knowing it.

    From Technical Q&A QA1561 How do I programmatically quit my iPhone application?.

    There is no API provided for gracefully terminating an iPhone
    application. Under the iPhone OS, the
    user presses the Home button to close
    applications. Should your application
    have conditions in which it cannot
    provide its intended function, the
    recommended approach is to display an
    alert for the user that indicates the
    nature of the problem and possible
    actions the user could take – turning
    on WiFi, enabling Location Services,
    etc. Allow the user to terminate the
    application at their own discretion.
