Without more information about what your app does all I can really do is point you to the documentation on widgets which would be a good place to start anyway.

There are only a handful of views that can be used and you can't update them very frequently without it being a major headache. You may just want to make a part of your app into a widget. Widgets aren't just apps on the launcher. Best of luck.
