You might also want to consider a configuration activity that will launch every time an instance of your widget is created, you can configure what time (or) details the user wants on the screen.

yes.

if you read the tutorial at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html#Configuring you'll see many references to mAppWidgetId/appWidgetIds/etc. This is a unique Id per instance of your widget. you can associate this Id with your configuration info.
