Thank you very much for the reply, I was afraid that might be your answer! If it is the case, and the onUpdate method is always called before the configuration activity is launched, then the Android documentation is wrong:
>From the documentation(http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ appwidgets/index.html): The onUpdate() method will not be called when the App Widget is created (the system will not send the ACTION_APPWIDGET_UPDATE broadcast when a configuration Activity is launched). It is the responsibility of the configuration Activity to request an update from the AppWidgetManager when the App Widget is first created. However, onUpdate() will be called for subsequent updates—it is only skipped the first time.
