Keep alive WiFi in when phone is locked to be able to have WCF app that let receive notifications

I am very intersting in develop app in WCF that let me to receive notificaction from the server or other clients, but this is impossible for three main reasons:

1.- WiFi is disabled when the phone is locked.
2.- It's not possible to have an app in background that listens the communication channel.
3.- WCF don't let duplex communication.

        yes, it affects to the battery, but it would be a user's decision.

        it should be an option for this because this will effect the battery life for sure.
