if you write it to api 11 and above use:

 // Get the layout for the App Widget  
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
views.setTextViewText(id,text);
appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);

as shown in this question How to partially update views in an app widget without rebuilding all the RemoteViews

otherwise rebuild the entire removeviews (basiclly call remoteViews again)
