How to create a tile on start screen in Win8 automatically?

I am trying to build a win8 application and I want to create a tile on the start screen automatically after user install it.

I did some searching, but all of them were talking about how make tile, but I want it to show on the start screen, not the 'Apps' screen.

Could any one help and tell me how to do that or give me some useful information?

In Windows 8, all apps will automatically have a tile created for them in the Start Menu during installation; you don't need to take any extra action for this to happen.

In Windows 8.1, this behavior changes and new apps that are installed are NOT automatically added to the user's Start Menu (they will be added to the Apps list). In Windows 8.1, the user has to explicitly go to the Apps list and add apps to their Start Menu. I found a quick video of this here.
