How to launch widget configuration after is been put on screen

Question

My widget launches a configuration screen when chosen to be put on screen. That works fine. I wanted to be able to touch a part of the widget to return to that configuration screen. I have created 2 pending intents in my widget's service but only one works. The code is below:

remoteView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.my_image,myWidget.makeControlPendingIntent(getApplicationContext(),BUTTON1,appWidgetId));
remoteView.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.TextViewBat,myWidget.makeControlPendingIntent(getApplicationContext(),BUTTON2,appWidgetId));

and before those 2 at the beggining of the service the code to choose what to do:

if(command.equals(BUTTON1)){
        Intent firstIntent = new Intent(this, anotherActivity.class);
        firstIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        startActivity(firstIntent); //THIS WORKS
    }
else if(command.equals(BUTTON2)){

        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "the prefs button is clicked",
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); //THIS WORKS
        /*Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("http://www.google.com"));
        myIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        startActivity(myIntent);*/  //THIS WORKS

        Intent myIntent = new Intent(this,myConfiguration.class);
        myIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        startActivity(myIntent); //* * * THIS CRASHES * * * *

    }

For the life of me i cannot understand how i can launch again the configuration activity. Please help.

All you need to do is call getActivity() on PendingIntent, for an Intent that is your configuration activity, and tie that to something in the app widget via setOnClickPendingIntent(). Here is a sample project demonstrating this.
