how to check internet connection through a batch file and trigger a acrion if connection is found?

Batch won't really run "in the background". It always has a console window. You can set up a shortcut to your batch file that starts minimized, but it will show up on your task bar.

But, like the other answer said, ping a known domain name with something like:

ping -n 2 google.com >nul
if errorlevel 1 goto NO_INTERNET

That will fail, though, if your ISP or some firewall or gateway along the way discards ICMP packets. Where I work, no pings or tracerts make it out of the local network.
