Swift 3 solution:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    let tapRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(handleTap(gesture:)))
    tapRecognizer.allowedPressTypes = [NSNumber(value: UIPressType.menu.rawValue)]
    self.view.addGestureRecognizer(tapRecognizer)
}

func handleTap(gesture: UITapGestureRecognizer){
    if gesture.state == UIGestureRecognizerState.ended {
        let app = UIApplication.shared
        app.perform(#selector(URLSessionTask.suspend))
    }
}
