I found out how to do that.
Add an action to the AndroidManifest.xml file in the > tag:

In the provider add a constant that matches the action name:

public static String WIDGET_BUTTON = "MY_PACKAGE_NAME.WIDGET_BUTTON";

In the onUpdate() method add a pending intent that matches the action:

Intent intent = new Intent(WIDGET_BUTTON);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.MY_BUTTON_ID, pendingIntent );

Finally, in the onRecieve() method, check the action name:

 if (WIDGET_BUTTON.equals(intent.getAction())) {
//your code here

    }
