Notification on Lock Screen triggered by (remote) Push Notification?

Question

is it possible to display something on the Windows Phone Lock Screen triggered by a push notification?

According to this graphic, I understand that's it's only possible via local notifications, or am I getting something wrong? I would like my app to make notifications on the lock screen whenever something important happens, which is triggered via remote push notifications from my server - is this possible?

Actually, it is possible. The lock screen just reflects the information of the main pinned tile of your app. So, if you update the tile, for example sending a tile push notification, the lock screen will be updated too.

Note, that you cannot programatically set your app to show notifications in lock screen. User has to manually select it.
