New Live tiles don't work in Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1 apps?

Solution
In your manifest, make sure the notification type is set to `WNS`. If you set it to `MPNS`, then you have to use notifications the old way.

Problem
So when I was watching this video from BUILD I thought it's gonna be easy... But I can't seem to get the tile of my WP Silverlight 8.1 app to change by doing the following. ``` const string xml = "<tile>" + "<visual>" + "<binding template='TileSquareText01'>" + "<text id='1'>testing 123</text>" + "</binding> " + "</visual>" + "</tile>"; var xmlDoc = new XmlDocument(); xmlDoc.LoadXml(xml); var tileNotification = new TileNotification(xmlDoc); TileUpdateManager.CreateTileUpdaterForApplication().Update(tileNotification); ``` Please note I've also created a Windows RunTime Windows Phone 8.1 with exactly the same code and it works just fine. On msdn, it clearly states that TileUpdateManager supports Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1. So I don't really know what's missing here.
