Widget doesn't show up in the Widget List (Android 2.3) – Artificial Intelligence

Everyone. I’m using “WidgetQuotes Sample” to display some quotes on homescreen for android phone (Android 2.3). But the widget doesn’t appear or show up. I don’t know why.

Take a look at these code:

AndroidManifest.xml

        </intent-filter>
        <meta-data 
            android:name="android.appwidget.provider"
            android:resource="@xml/widget_quotes_info" />
    </receiver>

    <service android:name=".UpdateWidgetService"></service>
