Hey, Deren, you did it correctly. But there is something missing. The android.permission.BIND_APPWIDGET permission is a system permission. You can only get that permission if your package is installed as a system package (installed in /system/app in stead of /data/app) or sign you app with a certificate that's the same as your android image. So basicly this means you can only use this permission if you are also the creator of the android image on your platform/phone.
