I assume "widget" means "app widget". In that case, is your app widget being updated, via android:updatePeriodMillis or AlarmManager?
if the answer is "yes", then your process is being terminated in between updates, then recreated on the next update, triggering a new Application object and onCreate(). This is perfectly normal and generally beneficial to the user.
