Remarks

Updates the info for the supplied AppWidget provider. Apps can use this to change the default behavior of the widget based on the state of the app (for e.g., if the user is logged in or not). Calling this API completely replaces the previous definition.

The manifest entry of the provider should contain an additional meta-data tag similar to #META_DATA_APPWIDGET_PROVIDER which should point to any alternative definitions for the provider.

This is persisted across device reboots and app updates. If this meta-data key is not present in the manifest entry, the info reverts to default.
