Oh man.. that not going to fly .. I can't do it from the service, because service runs like for a second to update the widget and stopSelf(). So if i register something onStart() i'd have to unregister that onDestroy(). Therefore to actually catch that event while service is running becomes kind of tricky. Sigh.. still don't understand why the hell it running updates during the sleep...
