You need to update the manifest.json file of the application under crossNavigation. The “indicatorDataSource” section makes the tile dynamic e.g.

…
“crossNavigation”: {
“inbounds”: {
“SalesPerformanceDisplay”: {
“semanticObject”: “SalesPerformance”,
“action”: “Display”,
“deviceTypes”: {
“desktop”: true,
“tablet”: true,
“phone”: true
},
“info”: “”,
“icon”: “sap-icon://Fiori2/F0365”,
“indicatorDataSource”: {
                          “path”: “/product_sales/resources/sap/demo/dynamictile/dynamic.json”,
                          “refresh”: “6000”,
                          “displayNumberUnit”: “%”
                  },
…
