    copied!<p>I've followed a bunch of tutorials, search on google and on stack overflow and came up with this code to update my widget when i touch it:</p> <pre><code>public class WidgetService extends Service{ @Override public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) { Log.i("WidgetService", "Called"); String fakeUpdate = null; Random random = new Random(); AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(this .getApplicationContext()); int[] appWidgetIds = intent .getIntArrayExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_IDS); if (appWidgetIds.length &gt; 0) { for (int widgetId : appWidgetIds) { int nextInt = random.nextInt(100); fakeUpdate = "Random: " + String.valueOf(nextInt); RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.widget); remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.txt_updated, fakeUpdate); appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(widgetId, remoteViews); } stopSelf(); } super.onStart(intent, startId); } @Override public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) { return null; } } </code></pre> <p>And for widget provider:</p> <pre><code>public class Widget extends AppWidgetProvider{ @Override public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds){ RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget); Intent intent = new Intent(context.getApplicationContext(), WidgetService.class); intent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_IDS, appWidgetIds); PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService( context.getApplicationContext(), 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.cnt_widget, pendingIntent); appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetIds, remoteViews); context.startService(intent); } } </code></pre> <p>In manifest:</p> <pre><code>&lt;receiver android:label="@string/next_trip_text" android:name=".widget.Widget" &gt; &lt;intent-filter &gt; &lt;action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE" /&gt; &lt;/intent-filter&gt; &lt;meta-data android:name="android.appwidget.provider" android:resource="@xml/widget_info" /&gt; &lt;/receiver&gt; </code></pre> <p>And xml:</p> <pre><code>&lt;appwidget-provider xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:minWidth="272dp" android:minHeight="72dp" android:updatePeriodMillis="0" android:initialLayout="@layout/widget" android:configure="se.webevo.basttrafik.widget.WidgetConfigActivity" &gt; &lt;/appwidget-provider&gt; </code></pre> <p>The service doesn't seem to be called at all. Any ideas? :)</p> <p>Thanks!</p>
