Are you saying widgets can update faster than 30minutes? Polling? public int updatePeriodMillis Since: API Level 3<http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/api-levels.html#level3>
How often, in milliseconds, that this AppWidget wants to be updated. The AppWidget manager may place a limit on how often a AppWidget is updated. This field corresponds to the android:updatePeriodMillis attribute in the AppWidget meta-data file. *Note:* Updates requested with updatePeriodMillis will not be delivered more than once every 30 minutes.
