I'm in WidgetProvider where I got in such way. The only thing I've is context. And I need to show DialogFragment. To show it, I need to get FragmentManger, but where can I get it if I don't have activity?

That is not possible. Fragments and dialogs have to be shown by an Activity. Call startActivity() to start up an activity that will show your DialogFragment.

  • Can this activity be invisible? – kandi Jul 16 '15 at 11:28

    It's probably better that you create an Activity with a Dialog theme instead. – BladeCoder Jul 16 '15 at 11:28
  • @danpetruk: I have never tried using `Theme.NoDisplay` with an activity that attempts to show a `DialogFragment` as a dialog. That might work. Otherwise, as BladeCoder suggests, you can create an activity that has a `...Dialog` theme, so that it will not fill the screen. – CommonsWare Jul 16 '15 at 11:31

    @danpetruk You can for example extend `Theme.AppCompat.Dialog`and customize it. Take a look at AppCompat's theme files to see how they customized the design to provide a Material look on older Android versions. – BladeCoder Jul 16 '15 at 12:15

create a class which extends activity in onCreate create a dialog and startActivity. 

        Intent dialog = new Intent(context, Your_dialog.class);
        dialog.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        startActivity(dialog);
