If you are looking to "re-use" a widget's layout and may be its base code, that is possible. I don't think it will be a good idea [or possible] to display a widget as an activity.

There are a lot of limitations in the number of view elements that can be used inside a widget. And again the way you will update a widget [RemoteViews] is actually very different from that of an Activity.

So in short, the answer would be a "NO".

Edit: This question has also been asked and answered a lot of times: difference between view and widget
