Why widget does not work after reboot?

I have this simple widget and when I click on it, it should open my activity, it works, but it doesn't work after reboot. I must delete and then again add widget to my homescreen, because when I click on widget widget doesn't respond and doesn't open my activity. So where is the problem?

Code:

public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
        final int N = appWidgetIds.length;

        for(int i=0; i<N; i++){
            int appWidgetId = appWidgetIds[i];

            context.startService(new Intent(context, WidgetService.class));

            Intent intent = new Intent(context, WidgetDialog.class);
            PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent, 0);

            RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
            views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.layout_widget, pendingIntent);

            appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onEnabled(Context context){
        context.startService(new Intent(context, WidgetService.class));
    }

    @Override
    public void onDisabled(Context context){
        context.stopService(new Intent(context, WidgetService.class));
    }

The AppWidgetProvider which widgets inherit calls onUpdate on startup when it receives ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE from the operating system.

If you override onReceive without calling super.onReceive(), you would need to intercept this Intent on your own.

After reboot you OnEnabled is called instead of onUpdate so move the code from onUpdate into a separate method and then call that method to update all widgets from onEnabled
