Well, that certainly simplifies matters... :-)

Does his <intent-filter> have anything else? For these sorts of things,
I usually just have the <action> element in the filter and nothing else.
You don't need a category or anything, and they can actually get in the
way a bit. For example, if his <intent-filter> has a category, you'll
need that category in your Intent as well, AFAIK.

Well, assuming his <intent-filter> is just the <action>, that should be
fine. Are you seeing any warnings in LogCat? If Android can't find a
match on the Intent, it'll toss out a warning, not an error.
Also, you could toss together a scrap project and call a regular
startActivity() in there on the Intent, to see if that launches. That'll
tell you if your problem is in the Intent construction or in the app
widget proper.
In terms of an example, here's one where I am starting up the browser on
a URL:
Intent i=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(c.getString(1)));
PendingIntent pi=PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, i, 0);
updateViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.title, pi);
updateViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.panel, pi);
In this case, I am using the same PendingIntent on two views in the app
widget, because the title itself (a TextView) is kinda thin and
difficult to tap, so I have the panel (a layout) behind it also respond
to a click to provide a larger target. Also, c.getString(1) is pulling a
String URL value out of a Cursor.
