How to restart and update a widget from a system reboot android
<p>Good day all, i have a slight issue here which i can't seem to figure out correctly. i have an appwidget that runs successfully. now when the phone is being rebooted,
the widget loses all its data and just sits on the home screen. since i can't update the widget from a broadcast receiver whenn the phone reboots, i created a notification
that leads to the configuration activity of the widget. Nothing works after the user sets the configuration again and leaves the configuration activity; the idle widget just remains there?(the user has to delete the widget and create a widget again).. Am assuming i am not receiving the widget id correctly or am i doing it wrongly in broadcast receiver and suppose to move all the code to onEnable in the widget method?.. How do i refresh the widget correctly. Please bear in mind that all widget updates are done from a service. Thanks for all your help. Highly appreciated.</p>

<p>by the way i have this code in broadcast receiver for boot_completed action:</p>

<pre><code>public void onReceive(final Context context, Intent intent) {

        String  info = context.getResources().getString(R.string.restart_setting);

     int[] allids = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context).getAppWidgetIds(new ComponentName(context, MyWidgetProvider.class));
        for(int appWidgetId:allids){

        NotificationManager mnotifyManager = (NotificationManager)context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        Notification notify = new Notification(R.drawable.icon, "Weather Update", System.currentTimeMillis());
        notify.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;
        notify.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE;

    Intent Settings = new Intent(context, WidgetConfigure.class);
    Settings.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, appWidgetId);

        PendingIntent pending = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, weatherSettings, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
        notify.setLatestEventInfo(context, "Weather Update", info, pending);
        notify.flags = Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
        notify.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_ALL;
        mnotifyManager.notify(WEATHER_NOTIFICATION_ID , notify);
        }
    }   
</code></pre>
