That will be difficult. You cannot fork threads from an
AppWidgetProvider, since it is a manifest-registered BroadcastReceiver,
and your AppWidgetProvider will be alive for milliseconds (I hope).
There is no clean way to have an AppWidgetProvider be around for the
tens of seconds necessary to get a GPS fix. Not to mention the fact that
you might never get a fix (e.g., user is in a parking garage).

You cannot do that here. If you look at your logcat, you will probably
see an exception complaining about there being no looper.
