You can add an method to your widget provider and get your widget sizes when you resize it for all versions of Android started from API 16:

    @Override
    public void onAppWidgetOptionsChanged (Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int appWidgetId, Bundle widgetInfo) {

        int width = widgetInfo.getInt (AppWidgetManager.OPTION_APPWIDGET_MAX_WIDTH);
        int height = widgetInfo.getInt (AppWidgetManager.OPTION_APPWIDGET_MAX_HEIGHT);

    }

And as for new added widget you can get its wizes by getting its sizes from its layout and multiply it to its cols num:

    AppWidgetProviderInfo widgetInfo = AppWidgetManager.getInstance (context).getAppWidgetInfo (widgetId);

    private int getColsNum (int size) {
        return (int) Math.floor ((size - 30) / 70);
    }

    public int getWidthColsNum () {
        return getColsNum (widgetInfo.minWidth);
    }

    public int getHeightColsNum () {
        return getColsNum (widgetInfo.minHeight);
    }

    int width = widgetInfo.minWidth * getWidthColsNum ();
    int height = widgetInfo.minHeight * getHeightColsNum ();

Getting widget cols num was taken from official Android guidelines.
