You can have an application + homescreen widget in a single .apk. Make sure your main application has the intent-filter android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" and android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER". Your widget receivers/activities instead shouldn't have any intent-filters with name MAIN (they should of course have the APPWIDGET_UPDATE/APPWIDGET_CONFIGURE/..).
