I have been facing the same problem. First I wanted to create my own widget background but then I have downloaded one of the examples of the background from this site (http://developer.android.com/guide/ practices/ui_guidelines/widget_design.html). Then I have used the draw9patch utility (part of the Android SDK - http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/draw9patch.html) to allow stretch the picture in any different size with correct proportion. Using this utility you don't have to have precise size of the background image because it will be resized as required.
This way, I have got the same look and feel of the widget background what original Google widgets have.
