Do this with the `checkForUpdate()` method:
<code-example path="service-worker-getting-started/src/app/check-for-update.service.ts" linenums="false" header="check-for-update.service.ts" region="sw-check-update"> </code-example>
<code-example path="service-worker-getting-started/src/app/check-for-update.service.ts" linenums="false" header="check-for-update.service.ts"> </code-example>
This method returns a `Promise` which indicates that the update check has completed successfully, though it does not indicate whether an update was discovered as a result of the check. Even if one is found, the service worker must still successfully download the changed files, which can fail. If successful, the `available` event will indicate availability of a new version of the app.

In order to avoid negatively affecting the initial rendering, `ServiceWorkerModule` will by default
wait for the app to stabilize, before registering the ServiceWorker script. Constantly polling for
updates, e.g. with `interval()`, will prevent the app from stabilizing and the ServiceWorker
