var tileTextAttributes = tileXml.getElementsByTagName("text");
tileTextAttributes[0].appendChild(tileXml.createTextNode("Sent to a secondary tile!"));

// Provide a medium version of the notification as well, remembering that the user has control 
// over whether the tile is displaying as wide or square.
var squareTileXml = Notifications.TileUpdateManager.getTemplateContent(Notifications.TileTemplateType.tileSquare150x150Text04);
var squareTileTextAttributes = squareTileXml.getElementsByTagName("text");
squareTileTextAttributes[0].appendChild(squareTileXml.createTextNode("Sent to a secondary tile!"));

// Add the medium tile to the notification.
var node = tileXml.importNode(squareTileXml.getElementsByTagName("binding").item(0), true);
tileXml.getElementsByTagName("visual").item(0).appendChild(node);

// Create the notification based on the XML content.
var tileNotification = new Notifications.TileNotification(tileXml);

// Create a secondary tile updater and pass it the secondary tileId
var tileUpdater = Notifications.TileUpdateManager.createTileUpdaterForSecondaryTile("SecondaryTile.Dynamic");

// Send the notification to the secondary tile.
tileUpdater.update(tileNotification);
