Q) Is it possible to create a system notification (that appears in the pull down shade) from an app widget?
Specifically I want to do this from my:
RemoteFetchService.class
, that fetches my remote data...
OR
AppWidgetProvider.class
, that updates the widget UI.

Yes, it is possible to create a notification from a service. Here's an example code.
private void triggerNotification() {
CharSequence title = "title";
CharSequence message = "message";
NotificationManager notificationManager;
notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification notification;
notification = new Notification(
R.drawable.ico_event, "Notifiy.. ",
System.currentTimeMillis());
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,notificationIntent, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(getApplicationContext(), title, message, pendingIntent);
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
notificationManager.notify(1, notification);
}
Have in mind that this is a code I took from my app, so you might need to replace some values to match your app.
