@Kostya - thanks for that. Is there any way to properly remove these stale app widget ids? Rechecking the id against the prefs is OK, but not great when there are potentially hundreds of stale ids. I tried calling onDeleted() but that doesn't seem to help.
Another tip is to process the ids in reverse order because its more likely that the later ids are not stale. If there are a huge number of stale ids then its possible the onReceive() will time out. Of course, you could just process the ids in a service instead.
