provideGlance not called after configuring widget

Question

I have a Glance widget, and when configuring it initially I save some IDs to Shared Preferences. These IDs should be read in the provideGlance method, but it is not called after configuring the widget, even though I call ValueWidget().update(context, glanceId). From the logging I can see that provideGlance is called before configuring the widget, but not after.

My code:

class ValueWidget : GlanceAppWidget() {

   override suspend fun provideGlance(context: Context, id: GlanceId) {
        Timber.d("ValueWidget provideGlance: $id")
        val appWidgetId = GlanceAppWidgetManager(context).getAppWidgetId(glanceId = id)
        val elementIds = ValueWidgetUtils.loadElementIds(widgetId = appWidgetId, context)

        provideContent {
            Timber.d("ValueWidget provideContent: $id")
        }
  }
}

The configure activity:

@AndroidEntryPoint
class ValueWidgetConfigureActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    private var appWidgetId = AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID

    public override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        enableEdgeToEdge()
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

        // Set the result to CANCELED.  This will cause the widget host to cancel
        // out of the widget placement if the user presses the back button.
        setResult(RESULT_CANCELED)

        setContent {
            val coroutineScope = rememberCoroutineScope()

            AppTheme(
                darkTheme = ThemeUtils.isDarkMode(this)
            ) {
                SelectItemsView(
                    save = { elementIds ->
                        // Save to shared preferences
                        ValueWidgetUtils.insertElementIds(appWidgetId, elementIds.toSet(), this)  
                        coroutineScope.launch {
                            val context = this@ValueWidgetConfigureActivity
                            val manager = GlanceAppWidgetManager(context)
                            val glanceId = manager.getGlanceIdBy(appWidgetId)


                            // It is the responsibility of the configuration activity to update the app widget

                            ValueWidget().update(context, glanceId)
    
                            // Make sure we pass back the original appWidgetId
                            val resultValue = Intent()
                            resultValue.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetId)
                            setResult(RESULT_OK, resultValue)
                            finish()
                        }
                    }
                )
            }
        }

        // Find the widget id from the intent.
        appWidgetId = intent?.extras?.getInt(
            AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID,
            AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID
        ) ?: AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID

        // If this activity was started with an intent without an app widget ID, finish with an error.
        if (appWidgetId == AppWidgetManager.INVALID_APPWIDGET_ID) {
            finish()
            return
        }
    }
}

I can hack around this issue when adding the widget the first time, by adding the below code to provideGlance. It does not work after configuring the widget (editing it) though.

var elementIds = ValueWidgetUtils.loadElementIds(appWidgetId, context)

    while (elementIds.isEmpty()) {
        Timber.d("ValueWidget: No elements selected, waiting for selection")
        delay(1000)
        elementIds = ValueWidgetUtils.loadElementIds(appWidgetId, context)
    }
