Understanding if your app is called from a widget and the widget position

[Tiwiz]

Hello everyone,
I'd need to know if there is a way to understand whenever and Activity is called by a widget (and what widget) and if there is a way to understand the position on the screen of that widget.


Thanks in advance,

Widgets interact with services not activities. See the widgets tutorial: Android home screen widgets tutorial - part I

Yes, sorry, I might have been a bit more explanatory
I'd need to know if there is a way to make my activity know what called it, if it was another activity, a service and which service/activity exactly was... like on JavaScript you can get the parent who opened a popup.

If it is inside your application then you can set a process global variable with the parent before starting the activity. You can create a code module with a function that sets the "parent" variable and then starts the activity.
