Navigating under lock screen windows phone

I have created an app in which I want the app to run under lock screen and it involves navigating between pages. The issue is, it gives me an error "cannot navigate under lock screen". Is there a workaround for it?

Yes Milan, We're talking about the same events, but in my case it hits the break-points as well as gives proper event name in Output window. I've used following code:

private void Application_Launching(object sender, LaunchingEventArgs e)
{
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("App Launching");
}
private void Application_Activated(object sender, ActivatedEventArgs e)
{
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("App Activated");
}
private void Application_Deactivated(object sender, DeactivatedEventArgs e)
{
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("App Deactived");
}
private void Application_Closing(object sender, ClosingEventArgs e)
{
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("App Closing");
}

I hope it helps. Let me know if still there is any issue.

Unfortunately, when phone is locked, your app goes in background (if you're using background services) or gets deactivated. In this case page-navigation OR UI related tasks can't be performed. You may, however, run background tasks.
