Can I use a plain View as a widget?

so as the question explains I want to know if I can use a standard view in my widget, I'm aware that widgets only allow certain types of views, namely they are : AnalogClock Button Chronometer ImageButton ImageView ProgressBar TextView ViewFlipper ListView GridView StackView AdapterViewFlipper, the documentation also says "Descendants of these classes are not supported." but what about the parent? can I use a normal view in my widget layout nothing fancy or custom just a plain view? say like this 

    <View
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@drawable/circle_green"
        android:id="@+id/unread_count_badge"/>

No, you can't. You can only use widgets that describes in official documentation
