Remarks
In Windows 8, tiles are updated at a frequency determined by the developer. A location on a website is polled to get the current notification. This method tells Windows 8 to recheck the polling URI (an xml file that contains the latest notification value) immediately rather than waiting until the next scheduled time. This enables a webpage to keep the notification on Windows 8 in sync with changes on the site. For example a news feed site might use a badge notification to display how many headlines are available. If a user see a there are 5 unread stories and visits the site. While on the site, he only reads two, the site can refresh the badge to show three unread stories.
