Yoy can put widget in your application. In your manifest file:

<receiver
   android:icon="@drawable/icon"
   android:label="Example Widget"
   android:name="MyWidgetProvider" >
   <intent-filter >
        <action android:name="android.appwidget.action.APPWIDGET_UPDATE"      />
   </intent-filter>

   <meta-data
      android:name="android.appwidget.provider"
      android:resource="@xml/widget_info" />
</receiver>
