Pinning an Android widget programmatically

pinWidget.kt

private fun pinWidget(context: Context) {
        val appWidgetManager = context.getSystemService(AppWidgetManager::class.java) ?: return
        val myProvider = ComponentName(context.applicationContext, TaskListWidget::class.java)

        if (!appWidgetManager.isRequestPinAppWidgetSupported) {
            Timber.d("Widgets not supported")
            return
        }

        // Create the PendingIntent object only if your app needs to be notified
        // that the user allowed the widget to be pinned. Note that, if the pinning
        // operation fails, your app isn't notified.
        val successCallback = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(
                context,
                0,
                // Configure the intent so that your app's broadcast receiver gets
                // the callback successfully. This callback receives the ID of the
                // newly-pinned widget (EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID).
                Intent(context, TaskListWidgetPinnedReceiver::class.java),
                PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
                                                        )

        val b = Bundle().apply {
            val remoteViews = RemoteViews(context.packageName, R.layout.widget_configure_task_list)
            putParcelable(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_PREVIEW, remoteViews)
        }

        appWidgetManager.requestPinAppWidget(myProvider, b, successCallback)
    }

Ok, Thanks for the info. Will look into it
