run an application on start screen in windows phone

I am stuck in a problem and need suggestions from you all.
My question is: Is it possible to run an app on start screen of a windows phone?
I have seen in android phone that there are apps like weather app in the phones start screen that opens there and there as a window on the same screen without navigation.
Can we make something like this in windows phone?

Thanks in advance.

No, that is not possible. Though if you just want to display data, you can use Live Tiles. Live Tiles can be updated with a BackgroundAgent that runs every 30 minutes, or when the user starts the app.

See here for how BackgroundAgents work: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/hh202942%28v=vs.105%29.aspx

And here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/microsoft.phone.shell.shelltile(v=vs.105).aspx you would need the ShellTile.Update() Methode
