Is there an Event that is fired when an widget becomes visible on to the homescreen. I didn’t mean at install time, I mean if the user changes his homescreen by wiping the surface of the phone.
The background of this question is that I setup a timer in a service inside the widget that gets updates from a url but that should stop if the widget is not on the current homescreen.

There is a way to do that, you can listen to Intent.ACTION_USER_PRESENT broadcast and update your widget on receiving the intent.
It will be fired when the user unlocks the home screen.
I am using it in my app and works great to update your widgets upon unlock.
