How to handle requestAnimationFrame with unactive tabs?

Currently I am calling on regular times window.requestAnimationFrame (every 2 minutes), but when the page is inactive chrome stops its execution and when it becomes active again all the previous calls are released at once

I would like to not call window.requestAnimationFrame when the tab is inactive, but a different function.

How can I check if the window.requestAnimationFrame is available to be executed?

I have searched in stackoverflow but didn't found an answer.

Thank you for your responses

It sounds like you shouldn't be using `requestAnimationFrame` at all. What are you trying to do? – SLaks Sep 11 '15 at 17:50

@SLaks It is necessary, it's for making a custom animation at the end of each "rounds" – lopata Sep 11 '15 at 17:52
@TomSlick I tried this, unfortunately it is not working when chrome is in the background of other apps – lopata Sep 11 '15 at 17:52
