Chrome extensions : How to know when a tab has finished loading, from the background page

I'm using a listener in the background page to know when a tab is loaded:

chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function (tabId) { })

But the listener is fired twice: when the page has started loading, and when the page has finished.Is there a way to differentiate the two cases?

Luckily have found the solution.

There is an additional parameter that holds the status value:

chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function (tabId , info) {
  if (info.status === 'complete') {
    // your code ...
  }
});

Status can be either loading or complete.
