Jake,
PendingIntents are not limited to launching activites. When a
PendingIntent fires, it just fires - the results of it firing depend on
how the PI was created.
If it's a broadcast event, it can be handled anywhere, and depends on
where / how a handler for this broadcast event is defined.
The easiest thing is to add a handler for this event to your
AppWidgetProvider, this can be done in the manifest (since AWP is a
BroadcastListener). Then, if building an widget update is not instant,
use a Service to built it.

I would like my appwidget to get updates upon a change of location but I
have a few questions.
1) I start a service in the appwidget's onUpdate() method. Is it
appropriate to have location updates processed by the same service?
2) When using requestLocationUpdates() am I better off to use the
Listener form of the API or the PendingIntent form of the API? To
use the PendingIntent, I need to have an Activity, correct? And in
this instance I don't, correct? So can the Service class create and
use a Listener?
Thanks.
