No.

That is not possible. App widgets must be declared in the manifest, which cannot be modified at runtime.

Sorry!

Answer 2

You can create a widget when its first added to the home screen, I dont like this idea though.

If you wanted you could declare X number of widgets in the manifest and create the Views in the onCreate() method.
