Those two concepts are not strictly tied, AFAIK. A Service would update
the app widget the same way regardless of whether or not it called
startForeground().
BTW, I don't know what a "remote widget" is. I am just assuming you are
referring to home screen "app widgets".
To update an app widget, a Service gets an AppWidgetManager and RemoteViews:
ComponentName me=new ComponentName(this, AppWidget.class);
RemoteViews updateViews=new RemoteViews("apt.tutorial",
R.layout.widget);
AppWidgetManager mgr=AppWidgetManager.getInstance(this);
then populates the RemoteViews and has the manager post those changes to
the home screen via mgr.updateAppWidget(me, updateViews).
You can see this used here:
