Live Activity without Dynamic Island

Is it possible to display a live activity on the lock-screen without a dynamic island? Or at least without expanding the dynamic island more than just for a small icon?

struct SomeWidgetLiveActivity: Widget {
    var body: some WidgetConfiguration {
        ActivityConfiguration(for: SomeAttributes.self) { context in
        } dynamicIsland: { context in
            DynamicIsland {
                DynamicIslandExpandedRegion(.leading) {
                    // Seems to be mandatory, any way around it?
                }
            } compactLeading: {
                
            } compactTrailing: {
                
            } minimal: {
                
            }
        }

I couldn't quite find a way.

Thank you
