To communicate with the band's sensors in Android, you don't directly interact with a tile. Instead, you can set up listeners to bring the sensor data to your device. From there, you could send the data back to the device through a tile.

For a better idea of how to use the listeners, check out the sample code http://developer.microsoftband.com/bandSDK
