Is there anyway to run this is as an async task / in the background?

An easy way is just to configure an timer to call it. It's not truly async but kicks off without you having to think about it. Set the first parameter to the number of seconds.

I like to use an idle timer so it only does the sync when I'm not doing anything else.
