How to update my WP8 Silverlight app tile every one minute?

Question

In my app, I've created the mechanism to create a custom tile. Lets say, CreateTile() this is the function which will create live tile and also will update the value.

But I want to update the live tile automatically every one minute. I have heard of Background Task Agent and Scheduled Notifications. But I don't know how to use them.

Can anyone help me out, assuming that there is already a function CreateTile() which updates my tile information?

Periodic background agents run at roughly 30 minutes interval. You cannot configure this interval.

The second MSDN article is quite to-the-point for a tutorial. Have you checked it? It's different from the first link I gave. – Abhishek Apr 22 '15 at 16:52
