A convenience class to aid in implementing an AppWidget provider. Everything you can do with AppWidgetProvider, you can do with a regular BroadcastReceiver. AppWidgetProvider merely parses the relevant fields out of the Intent that is received in onReceive(Context,Intent), and calls hook methods with the received extras.
