Answer 1

In the onUpdate(...) method of your AppWidgetProvider, use something like this to start a service (this example associates the service to a button click event):

Intent intent = new Intent(context, MusicService.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getService(context, 0, intent, 0);

// Get the layout for the App Widget and attach an on-click listener to the button
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.appwidget_provider_layout);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button, pendingIntent);
