Feature Request - Add Demo on how to have tile that can be configured from an activity

[Charchad]

Hi, I'm currently using Glance for wear tiles (version 1.0.0-alpha04) but I'm really struggling to develop a tile that can be configured from another activity.

Imaging you have a tile where you show the current balance (money) from a given subscription. The user can have more than one subscription.

The idea is:

• The user adds the tile which initially shows a message explaining that he needs to choose first the subscription to be displayed. This means that when the tile is clicked it should launch an activity where the user can do the selection.

Issues I found:

• First, you can't launch an activity with certain parameters (I already raised a bug for this). But as a workaround I can add a specific activity to perform the subscription selection.
• Second, how you can update the state of the tile from outside. I saw this example: https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:glance/glance-wear-tiles/integration-tests/demos/src/main/java/androidx/glance/wear/tiles/demos/CountTileService.kt But this updateTileState can only be invoked from the class instance itself as the GlanceId is not exposed.
