I would like to create a feature in the App to automatically add the Widget of the application.

When the user clicks a button, automatically inserts Widget into the home screen.

Is it possible?

You can not enter the widget automatically, you can open the widget selection for the user to choose from by clicking the button:

Intent pickIntent = new Intent(AppWidgetManager.ACTION_APPWIDGET_PICK);
pickIntent.putExtra(AppWidgetManager.EXTRA_APPWIDGET_ID, AppWidgetID);
startActivityForResult(pickIntent, KEY_CODE);

It looks like it's going to go against some Android policies as this opens up several security breaches without the user's consent.
