Task "run and forget" extension C# with Example

In certain cases (e.g. logging) it might be useful to run task and do not await for the result. The following extension 
allows to run task and continue execution of the rest code: 
public static class TaskExtensions 
{ 
public static async void RunAndForget( 
this Task task, Action onException = null) 
{ 
try 
{ 
await task; 
} 
catch (Exception ex) 
{ 
onException?.Invoke(ex); 
} 
} 
} 
The result is awaited only inside the extension method. Since async/await is used, it is possible to catch an 
exception and call an optional method for handling it. 
An example how to use the extension: 
var task = Task.FromResult(0); // Or any other task from e.g. external lib. 
task.RunAndForget( 
e => 
{ 
// Something went wrong, handle it. 
});
