A widget is an app that can update content on a home screen. It isn't just the size of one icon but can vary, taking up as much as one whole home screen if desired.

From Android 4.2 you can also have widgets on the lock screen.

The Google developer documentation is at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html

There is also a good tutorial at http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/AndroidWidgets/article.html

Yes, you can develop your own app for your application. But before you proceed please read through the link: Custom Components.
