Hey, I think I had a similar problem some time ago...unfortunately I don't remember exactly how I solved. However I think I used RemoteViews.removeAllViews().
I would try: RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.widget_layout); views.removeAllViews(R.id.ll_widget); ... rest of your code. Hope it helps!
