True, but depending on what you are wanting to do, you can store state using SharedPreferences...

Correct.

It's also possible to store state in SharedPreferences, or SQLLite, or via a web service - but any of those is a mechanism external to AppWidgetProvider itself.

The Java object declared in the manifest (AppWidgetProvider subclass) is stateless, and can (and will be) recreated and disposed of by Android. There are no guarantees about its lifetime - only that appropriate methods will be called upon relevant events.
