Letting the user select a frequency can be done by not specifying an updatePeriodMillis for the widget, but instead registering a broadcast receiver with the AlarmManager that pushes updates through the AppWidgetManager. It's not possible to change the size of a widget from that defined in its xml info file. The only option here is to offer the user multiple widgets of differing sizes.
