I am no expert, but does this help?

"If you're handling coroutines there is an asyncio facility for "background 
tasks".  asyncio.ensure_future() will take a coroutine, attach it to a Task, 
and return a future to you that resolves when the coroutine is complete."

This advice was given to me a while back when I wanted to run a background 
task. It works perfectly for me.
