The views you are changing are not associated with any appwidget until you call appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget() (which I assume you are doing later on in your code). If you pass in the appWidgetId to this call, you should be updating only that instance. Something like this: AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context); updateViews = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_message); updateViews.setTextViewText(R.id.message, result); appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, updateViews);
