Not sure if this is what you are going for.... It is possible to have a single APK install that has a main Activity component as well as a Widget. I saw a demo where the .apk file is installed, you can open the Activity as a normal application and on the home screen(s) add a Widget from that application. The Widget in this case was just a shortcut to open the application in a certain spot for convenience (i.e. bookmark).
I guess this was accomplised through the contents of AndroidManifest.xml where the main Activity was defined along with a Widget. Not too familiar with Widgets yet, so maybe this is common knowledge. I wish I could track down the guy who showed me that as I would like to do the same thing. Although, all the information on how to do this might be easily located in the documentation. I have not looked much, but will start to soon.
