Answer 4

thanks for reply.

But why "Task Manager" and "metro style search panel" can get metro app's icon? how to do it is?

Answer 5

The operating system can do it because it is not sandboxed for security.  Metro style apps are sandboxed and cannot make the same calls that a non Metro style app can make.
