[android-developers] Home Screen Widget: Start Programmatically

Hiya,

My understanding is that it is not possible to auto start a home
screen widget. (There are many posts saying it cannot be done)

However, we've found that the majority of our users don't know how to
start Android widgets. So we've provided a step by step dialogue to
explain it.

However, the boss claims that there is an application auto starting
their home screen widget:
"The OpenTable app (download from Android Market) prompts you when you
first launch to install a home screen widget. You click yes, and the
widget is automatically installed on the home screen with no
additional prompts."

I believe he's on the new Acer tablet running honeycomb. How are they
doing this?

Thanks,
Glen
