Add a custom event handler to an AppWidget component

Is there any way to add a custom event handler to an AppWidget component, i.e an event handler that's not related to an Intent? I just want a listener function, like components in standard activities have. Thanks.

I actually found a solution to this issue. I can use PendingIntent.getBroadcast and then in the onReceive function of the receiver, I write whatever code I want.

Only if you are the person implementing the home screen that hosts the app widget.

That is only possible from the activity that hosts the app widget, otherwise known as the home screen.
