How to debug background.js in chrome extension/apps?

If you are a chrome apps / extension developer, at some point you will realize how do I debug the background.js. How do I open the console for this application. Chrome has the following flag 

chrome://inspect
chrome://inspect/#apps
chrome://inspect/#extensions
It will list all the running apps and extension. For example,
  • Install the Google Keep from the web store.
