BackgroundFetch should give the user the ability to pause/cancel a batch download

Project Member Reported by harkness@chromium.org, Feb 15 2017 
BackgroundFetch's BatchManager will be displaying a visible notification instead of using the notification from the DownloadManager. That notification should support the ability for the user to pause, resume, or cancel downloads. 

Open question - if the user cancels a batch download but some of the files have completed, should those files be given to the service worker? Or should the user's cancelling be considered a strong negative signal and the files discarded?

Couple of comments regarding the open question:
- it seems to be assuming that cancellation is a negative signal, one could cancel and retry again -- keeping the files would save bandwidth
- what would you do if the connection is interrupted? I guess we would give the files to the page in that case, would it be better to have a consistent behaviour?
