I have made a tile that should show the current heart rate. The tile gets the heart rate from shared preferences and it works perfectly but I need to refresh it like every second. Currently, I can only refresh it every minute using .setFreshnessIntervalMillis(1000*60)
The documentation says that I can update my tile from any place in my application using this...
TileService.getUpdater(context)
.requestUpdate(HeartRateTileService.class);
But this does nothing. I tried it in several locations like in onItemSelected inside my MainActivity, inside a BroadcastReceiver and inside a foreground service. Is this a context problem or something? I also tried
HeartRateTileService.getUpdater(this/getApplicationContext())
.requestUpdate(HeartRateTileService.class);
This is my tile...

int i = super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId);
Log.d("HeartRate", "onStartCommand " + prefManager.getHeartrate());
return i;
}
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
prefManager = new PrefManager(this);
Log.d("HeartRate", "onCreate " + prefManager.getHeartrate());
