Answer 1

Use this snippet in onUpdate() method of your widget AppWidgetProvider class:

@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
    RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widgetlayout);
    Intent configIntent = new Intent(context, Activity.class);

    PendingIntent configPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, configIntent, 0);

    remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.widget, configPendingIntent);
    appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetIds, remoteViews);
}     

Here widgetlayout is name of your widget layout and R.id.widget is it's parent layout id.

Edit:
Now,I see your code that you added to your question.You would to do:

PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, configIntent, 0);

(that start's activity) instead of

PendingIntent.getService(...);

that attempt to starts service.Good luck.
