Android - scrollable listview in home screen widget

I've problem, that i want to create a home screen widget with listview inside, which should be scrollable. I read on docs page, that listview is only supported in remoteview from 3.0 android.

But still i think, this is not completely true, or i am missing something. Ok, when i tried do add listview to my home screen diget, i get error: class not allowed to be inflated android.widget.listview. BUT on my phone i have android 2.2.3 and i am able to add home screen widget (its some email application widget) which shows SCROLLABLE list of my emails, look here:

And my question is: How is this possible and how to do it, in which way? Im googling few hours, but have absolutely no idea how is this possible (maybe dynamically generate items int vertical linear layout and create manualy scroller on right side, but it sound terrible complicated).![enter image description here][1]

EDIT: maybe its possible to generate long list of items into linear layout and detecting, if user is moving up or down with finger...

Correct.

That is not an app widget. That is a feature of that home screen implementation.

No, sorry.
