I tried the solution suggested by Sharon Haim Pour above, but my onReceive() method in AppWidgetProvider class has never been called on button press.

Intent intent = new Intent(WIDGET_BUTTON);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.MY_BUTTON_ID, pendingIntent );

After some research I could resolve the problem by updating the code as below:

Intent intent = new Intent(context, MY_APPWIDGETPROVIDER_CLASS.class);
intent.setAction(WIDGET_BUTTON);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.MY_BUTTON_ID, pendingIntent );

Do not forget to put below:

appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);
