      // first param is app package name, second is package.class of the main activity
      ComponentName cn = new ComponentName("com....","com...MainActivity");
      intent.setComponent(cn);
      intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); 
      PendingIntent myPI = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, 0); 

    RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_word); 


    views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widget, myPI); 

    AppWidgetManager mgr = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context); 
    mgr.updateAppWidget(comp, views);
