Sorry. I meant to say remote views like in the subject ;-) I currently update the remote views to which I kept a reference and then notify again with the same Id. That seems to work, but I would like to know if this is the right way to do it.

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).
