Is there a way to get a mobile webapp icon to apear as the tile when pinning to start screen on a Windows Phone?

Question

I'm currently using a code snippet from the "HTML5 Mobile Boilerplate" project, but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone know of a workaround for this?

<meta name="msapplication-TileImage" content="images/icon-144.png">

<meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="#222222">

Unfortunatly those meta tags works only for sites pinned with Internet Explorer in Windows 8 (Here is a good reference for Windows 8: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/dn255024(v=vs.85).aspx ).

You can't do the same for Windows Phone right now, see a similair question here which answer is still correct: Site icon on WP8 homescreen .
