function sendTileTextNotification() { var Notifications = Windows.UI.Notifications; // Get an XML DOM version of a specific template by using getTemplateContent. var tileXml = Notifications.TileUpdateManager.getTemplateContent(Notifications.TileTemplateType.tileWideText03); // You will need to look at the template documentation to know how many text fields a particular template has. // Get the text attribute for this template and fill it in. var tileAttributes = tileXml.getElementsByTagName("text"); tileAttributes[0].appendChild(tileXml.createTextNode("Hello World!")); // Create the notification from the XML. var tileNotification = new Notifications.TileNotification(tileXml); // Send the notification to the calling app's tile. Notifications.TileUpdateManager.createTileUpdaterForApplication().update(tileNotification); }
